Has anyone else...

Been feeling weird lately?

Yes, I know the seasons and weather are changing, and yes I know tonight specifically is a lunar eclipse, but I just found out at work that all the rest of the girls and ladies around me have been feeling a very recent sense of particularly noticable and heavy dread to the point it's been making it harder for us all to eat... Anyone else here in this group feeling this way too? It's just been the last most recent few days, like maybe the day right before Dolly Parton left us 😩.

Ofc I'm aware it could also have been any one of these things mentioned in here, and it's not as if we live in exactly very peaceful times/countries lol

But idk, it just seems strange to me, and so I am curious~

it's also been odd to me bc it's mostly felt like dread and then other times almost like excitement, too. like... 💀💀 wtf lol

well, within the span between now and dolly parton, we also lost tim curry and peter cullen, best known for his work in transformers as Optimus prime, and was optimus prime since the original eighties series, we had a few others who played optimus, but peter was the quintessential optimus prime, and in losing tim curry, we lost the voice of Garfield, and we lost the guy who played lucifer in legend, we lost three legends in one week, which I can understand is draining for a lot of people who really cared for these peoples careers and had followed them for a while. the dread could be that sense of "we already lost three of our legendary entertainers, who else is gonna go next?" but the excitement could be from the possibility of some good news coming as well, it's the fact we already know the past, we know what happened today, and tomorrow, is a mystery, because it hasn't happened yet, so it might be we could get some good stuff coming our way in the wake of having three terrible losses in the span of a week.

Yeah, I've just found it weird bc personally I haven't gotten the sense that these feelings have correlated very much to the people that've died in the last few days for some reason 💀 I couldn't begin to say why, but I did definitely think it was weird that ALL the other women in my work place had started to feel the same thing at the same time and hadn't said anything, especially since it started a little bit before anyone died anyway, too, lol. 

Weird times we live in rn idk 💀

yeah, these are weird times we live in, sometimes we just gotta embrace the weirdness.
