Deep in your conscious mind, something terrible is brewing. So ugly and fearful it'll stop you from doing whatever you're doing and freeze in your tracks. It's more terrible than kids screaming outside, more terrible than fierce neighbourhood dogs barking, more terrible than your last clean pair of underwater dirtied up instead of squeaky clean for going out tomorrow. It's the thought of having to become stuck indoors all week long. You get bored of looking at the prison that is the four walls of your bedroom because that disease called Covid has spread round your friends' houses and sent them sneezing and coughing all the way to bed. You react to it with watery, upset eyes, a voice ready to scream and shout and a mood that forbids you from doing what you love. You throw yourself onto your bed and cry endlessly, your salty tears staining your bed like ketchup mixed with mustard from a crumpled hot dog packet. But then, you have a sudden decision to do what you were supposed to do before: blog about things that make other people happy. And that's what I'm going to do: just for you.
Your consciousness means your health, and stressing out over ad-filled TV channels or dull programs that pop up every now and then on a streaming service will make you even think The Lion King is for babies (well, The Lion Guard does air on Disney Junior after all) - but you must remember, we're all odd pieces in earth's jigsaw. We're not part of the big picture, but we're part of a mixed media canvas which makes us all unique, no matter how God painted us. Whether you're black, white, yellow, or brown, or if you were born with an enormous birthmark on your head, we can all agree that being part of this moving, living, breathing jigsaw puzzle might be a reason why you should start living....
...now, GO FOR IT!
