Hello there! Here’s another update. For this one, I’d like to speak to anyone dealing with Mental Health, I know it’s tough dealing with a stigma because I do too. I just want you to remember that even during Quarantine, it is imperative that you keep taking your meds, and see your therapist, even if it’s via video-conferencing. Many of you are now in homes with many people under one roof, including sometimes children. That’s a friendly reminder that you must ALWAYS keep your meds in a locked cabinet. It’s very important. Also, someone told me this expression a very long time ago which has always helped me: “Whenever you think you got it bad, someone else has it worse.” Be kind to one another, grab that Kindle. For all of us bookworms, it’s time to lay off the excuse of the “to-be-read” list. We’ve got these enormous backlog of books, it’s time to go through your library and read whatever book is left. Get back on writing too. That’s right, many of us have writer’s block, and now that we are stuck home, it’s time to write that book or story. It’s time to channel that one guy who said write a few pages a day. Even if they’re bad, write a few pages a day. That will get your writing skills back in the groove. For those who write non-fiction, please immediately write a longread op-ed regarding this current clusterfuck regarding COVID-19. Why it spread so quickly in the United States, We should have followed South Korea’s approach. Also, I want the Military to appoint a czar who has supply chain and logistics experience to handle sending medical supplies to hospitals nationwide. This is not the time for petty arguments. I don’t want a pissing contest. Some of you know who is the best on your various teams to lead this effort. Get him or her to get this done, asap. I thank you in advance. Also, it’s time to realize who the real heroes are. I love me some goddamn basketball, but why are basketball players paid millions of dollars while Firefighters don’t make that much? I know a LOT of heroes. I can’t tell you their names, but I can tell you they save the world every damn day and they don’t make millions of dollars. So please, be a little more grateful to these men and women, especially during this time of crisis. Remember, when you think you have a lot on your shoulders, they have even more. One last thing, please get us Bernie Sanders asap. We need Medicare For All. We need these greedy insurance companies to stop thinking about their profits and understand healthcare is a human right. Let’s get it done.

Until next time!
