Do you wonder WTAF?!

WTAF is going on at the minute, CoronaVirus, Donald Trump, the fact we still need to be told via protest that Black Lives Matter, seriously WTAF is happening in the world at the moment?!

I don't think I'll articulate this well, but I sometimes just think that this is a very weird time to be be alive. There's so much of it that is almost difficult to comprehend.

The thing that really did it for me this week, the moment when I stopped and thought that this can’t possibly be reality, was when they confirmed a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case.

It feels a bit like I’m in The Truman Show Sad

I was told I was going to be furloughed on the 21 st March.......not gonna lie I thought it sounded a bit kinky

Has the reality been somewhat disappointing? Less kink, more Zoflora. Although, you do mention masks...

You have reminded me I'm on my last loo roll so need to buy more tomorrow. I don't get through them fast. Yeah I reckon some people might be getting up to exciting things like loo roll castles

I never saw it until March but then I saw the same as you so you said:

"I feel like Mother Nature is enraged at the scourge of mankind and is chucking all her tricks at us, plagues and locusts and fires etc in a bid to reduce our numbers to a more manageable size.
In a big picture way I can see mankind is taking too much from the earth and needs to be reduced but obviously I realise for that to happen people parents/siblings/children/loved ones would need to die and that every life is a life."

And back in March i got:

"I think it all represents the huge power of nature doing battle with mankind which has taken over it's environment! The changes are monumental and painful but are the Earth's much needed medicine, the bitter tonic to promote healing and bring back the values that we have forgotten. Remind us of the much wider picture than our own little struggles and bring us back to basics, allow us to share the Earth with animals and other people not just fight for ourselves. It's a painful transition because we didn't listen when we should have done, we should have respected nature and the environment and now it is teaching us the hard way but the angels are speeding here to support us during our lesson. The end will be soon but not the end of the world the end of the lesson to make way for a whole new space for us full of love and understanding! WOW! It's a beautiful change taking place! People are dying but their souls were heroic, they agreed to sacrifice themselves to educate humankind. They wrote it into their life stories to show us what is real and that we have been focussing on the wrong things! We meant well in our narrow ways but we needed a monumental shift of energy to open us up to what really matters and this was the only way to shake us all at the same time across the Earth!"

I got that from spirit, not what I thought so I saved it and now it makes a lot of sense!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/06/2020 02:07

At the same time I got that back then but am thoroughly pissed off now

Frownette · 07/06/2020 02:14

You'll be fine my poppet. Hang on in there.

People aren't listening now. They haven't before, so I would bet that they won't in future either.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/06/2020 02:19

Let's just pretend it's the early 80s and 2020 is so far in the future it's not worth worrying about.

1forAll74 · 07/06/2020 02:38

You might well have been saying the same things about the last world war, that went on for more than four years. Nobody knew when it would end, food was rationed for years, some serious illnesses abounded. Children were evacuated and got scared. World leaders were in a frenzy, and Hitler was a maniac. So always something happening in the world at all times.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/06/2020 02:45

1forAll74 well ...yes!? But we are expressing feeling about this unusual incidence!

it's cool but not cool (taking in the wider picture) still not cool with me overall but then it is cool (if you leave me out of it)

JigglypuffsCaptor · 07/06/2020 02:52

It definitely feels like the horsemen are here

Pestilence/Plague
War
Famine
Death

3/4 are here if the economy tanks and food production suffers, you'll have your 4th. 😳

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/06/2020 02:52

i also got (back in March):

We are going back to basics, growing food in the garden and trading with our neighbours instead of money, bartering goods and skills instead of exchanging money. Our expectations are lowering and our vibration is rising as a majority. It's strange I'm getting all this but not sure how it will work. I have thought recently about how unhygienic money is!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/06/2020 02:56

Jigg I feel sad to say that the 4th is a given!

The government are balancing death with death. I would not be in their shoes now for all the tea in China.

Minesril · 07/06/2020 02:58

I had a baby after lockdown. I sometimes wonder if this is all some sort of post natal psychosis!

I remember back in December i was getting fed up with being pregnant and i said to someone 'i wish i could fast forward to March..,'

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/06/2020 02:59

But at the same time we need to find our own way through this. It's fucking terrible but what are YOU going to do to help? What am I going to do? We need to do that and pay it forward now!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/06/2020 03:00

Min I was saying 'I wish I could go back to February' Sad

cuparfull · 07/06/2020 03:03

We have such low standards of leaders cos all our politicians have had to do for the past 40 years is be "yes "men to EU bureaucrats.
The EU said "Jump" and UK politicians said...."How high"

As a result, we have inexperienced numpties in power.

Sassenach85 · 07/06/2020 05:10

Glad I found this thread - awake here waiting on aliens arriving .... that’s not crazy anymore

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 07/06/2020 06:02

These crazy times we're experiencing makes all the Brexit stuff seem like it was a toddlers dust up in a preschool sandpit.

Meadows20 · 07/06/2020 06:27

Had a pretty full on 2019 with a quite traumatic bereavement, probate, selling two houses and buying in less than 4 months then falling pregnant. I said at New Year 'well at least the next year won't be quite as full on...' I fucking jinxed it for us all...sorry guys 🙄

PhilCornwall1 · 07/06/2020 07:45

The world has gone bonkers and if there was a league table of bonkers countries, this one would be more than likely close to the lead.

It's now against the law to do this, that and the other. People telling you you're everything under the sun if you don't do what they think you should do and you must never tell them to mind their own business, because what you do is their business.

Oh just bugger off and live your life and I'll live mine my way.
