Da Rona....

It is 2020 now and we are experiencing a Pandemic...  This virus that is called Covid-19, coronavirus, and what I call Da Rona. We are in some scary times.  Like a lot of us never experienced something like this.  It has put our lives in uproar. We have to social distance ourselves from other people. It also have it where we can't leave your house unless it is to go to work or to go to the grocery store. 

By me staying home being my mom's caregiver, I've really had to change my life.  I told my friends and family that they can not come to my house. I also had to get to the point where I am not allowing my boyfriend to come over.. (that is stressful) He is my sanity but we communicate through phone calls.  See he still has to work so that is the main reason why I am not allowing him.. The 1st of the month I was sick as a dog and I 1st  thought I had it... I was so scared.. I wasn't coughing but I had the fever and doing a lot of puking and diarrhea..

I truly pray that they find a cure and some type of prevention so we can get back to our normal. I am not much of a social person, I do like to hang out with friends when I can.  I also worry about my mom. I had to tell her aides not to come until they can put a end to this. I want to have my cook outs. I want to be able to go over my man's house and enjoy a break from my home 

So I pray that each of you are doing well in this troubling times . Don't forget to stay safe and keep your hands washed. I believe this will be okay in the end.

 

When will this really stop? How can we prevent it? How can we save our youth?

I know half of my reading feel some type a way about this. I watch the news all the time. It sickens me that half of the news cast is about some Black Teen did something or a Black Teen has been killed. Today on the news was a 19 year old teen was murder (shot in the head and was left on a gravel road) was found Saturday. He graduated last year and was about to become a father.. Hearing his mother cries made me cry.. Now most of the time, when I see stuff like this, I ball out too.. Everyone interviewed was saying how much of a good person and sweet kid he was. How he never did anything wrong and was always polite. WHY? What is it with Today's youth? Now I know a few people will argue about the music. Yet, in my time, We had NWA and countless of others and it wasn't as bad as it is now. 

So over the past week was murder a double homicide in a few counties away which they believe was drug related.. Now that too is such a sad thing.. Do people just don't value a life anymore? I have so many questions to this situation.. Is there anything or does anyone care? We got to solve this problem. It has gotten to the point where I never really want to go any where.. Heck I don't even like where my house is located sometimes. I have a crazy neighbor who gets drunk and he sometimes will shoot his gun.. For what reason I don't know but I do get frustrated. You never know the day where someone will flip on you for no apparent reason. 

Some might say that it is poverty... 

I agree to a point with this. People watch to much television.. They see all this glamorous life spending money left and right. Then a child whose mother and father make less than 20 thousand a year, thinks they need that stuff.. I tell you although my childhood wasn't bad, it were things that I wanted and felt I needed.. I did learn that I didn't need everything I wanted. I also believe that so many Parents want to be their kids FRIEND and not the parent. I really think the parents need to put a STRONG hold on their kids.. I think that is what the real problem. There are parents out here enabling their kids from becoming great.

People see violence and drugs in our communities and some turn the blind eye. I really wish their were more programs set up to help these kids. This madness really needs to STOP and STOP now before this becomes the end of our children being the future.. Dead, in Jail, School Drop Outs isn't going to lead us in the direction to our youth.. I want to see Law Makers really put the effort in Education, Mentors, and getting parents in a position that will improve our children lives..
