About 6 weeks ago I was massively burned out and fully depressed with the state of the world. Rage and inner torment was really taking its toll. For about 3 weeks I didn't log into any social media including FA.

During those 3 weeks I focused on my family, faith, health and all the other things that actually matter. It was among the happiest I have been in years.

1/2

I am going on a couple of decades of at least having a pretty good idea what has been going on. But as most of you know, the last 5-6 years (the last 2 specifically) have been brutal for the mental health for all of us.

What I realized on my break from the world is that while it is continuously getting better and worse (depending on your perspective), nothing really changed except that my personal life improved.

2/3

To put into perspective of how easy it is to think you need to constantly stay engaged, the reality is after 3 weeks of ignoring it all, I got caught up in about an hour. Same as it ever was.

Does this mean we all just say: "fuck it. I don't care anymore" and wait until it is over? Whether it is a win for the good guys or the final nail in the coffin of our Republic?

3/4

Of course we don't just give up. I have been in this struggle for too long to just quit. Plus it isn't in my DNA. But having such a minimal impact outside of my own home isn't lost on me.

Staying up late reading everything I can about what new fresh hell the Cabal is throwing at us isn't helpful either. In fact, it is playing into the hands of the dregs who are doing this to us.

4/5

They want us beat down. They want us on edge. They want the less stable among us to go rogue and do something stupid. I for one have gained wisdom and can see through the lies and am not about to get all kinetic. But what it does do is lower our energy and can cause health issues. This is a secondary benefit to TPTB. They want us weak.

5/6

My point in this isn't to preach or sound like I have it all figured out but rather to encourage each of us to take breaks. Do something meaningful. Gather your strengths up so we can all fight another day.

The biggest fear of those who seek to steal our freedoms is a united populous. But right behind that, and some might say even more important, are healthy, functioning families who can't be broken apart. It is up to each of us to be that family.
