Stephen King is cheering me up; hanging out in my cocoon this week

We all have those days, weeks right?

I have been down a rabbit hole all week. I have also been so off. Let me explain by saying watching The Stand on Amazon prime has cheered me up.

Check it out for you, Stephen King lovers; it is the new version. I have seen and read the book. Stephen King has been my favorite author since I learned about him when I was 16.

I think he is a literary genius, yet people either love or hate him. There is not one person I met who says ok. The fact that he has that divide is admirable.

Continuing, I like to be informed about what is going on. I have always wished I was one of those who could live in a bubble and have no clue that saying ignorance is bliss; I think it is true.

It’s funny, though, because I have a bubbly, happy disposition most of the time; many people my whole life have always assumed I have no clue what is going on.

I do not talk about it; I do not write fear-mongering articles on here telling you the world is ending. I do not think the world is ending. I think something is happening, and since most writers are feelers, you feel it too.

Do we know what? No.

Does anyone know? No.
