I highly suggest some of you start prioritizing self care

[RickyDiBiase]

All we can do is look out for our families, our friends and try and soldier on. We've survived dark times. We can survive this. America has spoken just have to pivot and adjust as best as we can.

audiobooks and scripture, good cooking, my family and my peoples, and I'm straight. I start back working in construction in the end of February. just gotta ride this out.

I'm privileged in regards to not having children occupy my time, not having a truckload of resources.

Stop making this a personal argument.

No children = lots of free time and likely more resources at your disposal. You should go invest what you have and don't need into other people.

I didn't make it personal, but it's obvious you have personal feelings attached to this "argument" so I'm gonna let you go. I hope you enjoy your day.

First, most of the list is not free.

Second, I work a job where I have to be present at the crack of dawn and don't necessarily know when I leave, a "half day" is 9 hours and still cutting my money in half.

Third, I'm not speaking for myself, but for Americans at large.

Y'all have to stop making personal attacks and assumptions when challenged on a concept.

The list I gave were just examples. There’s plenty of shyt you can do to prioritize yourself that costs nothing. Exercise is free. Reading is free. Therapy isn’t free but if you got healthcare it’s damn cheap

I wasn’t making any personal attacks. But just the idea of challenging making self care a priority is crazy to me

Yea. That’s why I told myself I was taking a vacay right after the election. I told my uncle I wasn’t going to deal with the white ppl in my office gaslighting me the next day

Stay in the gym, make more money, strengthen healthy connections… that’s all we can do now.

Best way to get through what you believe will be hard times is to focus on your mental, physical, emotional (and financial) health.

All these ppl breaking down on camera look crazy — although I suspect many are definitely doing it because that YT, Tiktok check gonna be nice

Yeah, you just gotta take care of yourself and continue focusing on your goals. Link up with your friends and family and enjoy LIFE. Tomorrow is not promised, as in the blink of an eye all of this could change. I'm not saying be blind, but whatever is in your control is your obligation to steer. If you see what I'm saying.

I hope these folks ain't acting out for a damn YouTube check! Dignity is HARD to get back once you start giving it out!

Pretty much. Dual Citizenship is something we should also consider.

We litterally lived through a Trump Presidency x COVID and ya'll actin' like " Nah, this different, he's coming for revenge."

Meanwhile, Biden been giving million to a country who's actions are threatening to start a world war.



Politics is so weird. Touch grass, take care of your family, grow some hair on your chest, bawy.

Just looking at the first page of TLR and as to be expected it’s filled with threads about the election. I get that most of us didn’t get the results we wanted but it is what it is now

How do we move forward? Worry about the shyt that you can control. That’s your physical, emotional, and mental health. Stressing about this shyt is only gonna lead to health issues. And we already know as black folks we are more susceptible to certain ones. Get some therapy. Exercise. Read some books. Get massages. Play video games. Watch tv. Travel. Make money. Do whatever it is that you enjoy doing that releases stress

I know it’s gonna be tough to do but consuming all this negative shyt aint doing you no favors

Is there a thread we all can post up in? Would be great if posters can give good tips on areas to go to. I don't know which countries are best for dual citizenship, has ideal living standards, and decent healthcare. I prefer South America only because it's closest to the country and being near family.

Facts, control what you can control. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

This actually makes me think, if you don't have the means to leave the country, just link up with like minded black folks in certain states. We'd be stronger

man that's easy for you to say

Yea we kinda spoiled over here

I already stated that no children equals free time. You made a remark about my "self agency", thus on me and not on people at large.

Talking about you don't have is personal. You're focusing on me and not the discussion in general. You yourself ended your opening post saying I know it's difficult. So why is this even an argument?

I didn’t realize you were making a general statement. My bad. What I was saying is difficult is not consuming all this negativity. Either way people gotta start making their peace a priority.
