See? It’s wrong…

I recently wrote the post Doing it wrong here. It had not been shared yet, as it was scheduled behind several other posts that I've already written before. So the text had not been shared yet, when I got to Mastodon one day, and someone bluntly told me that I was doing it wrong.

#fedifreinds we have so much going on that, even here, it is really easy to slide back into the abyss of #doomscrolling.

Please, take some time to step away, go #breathe some outside air if you are in a safe place, play a #game with your friends, family, kids & or animal companions. Read or watch something #fun & not attached to reality if that helps.

We have a long hard, road ahead and need to practice some #selfcare.

Let's be #kind & #supportive.

I'll be back later 🙂
