Well if you were to limit interactions one would think you would do at a time when most interaction takes place. The curfew is just the Government's way of keeping control as more can happen in 19 hours than in 5.
I am sorry to hear about your accident and I pray that you recover quickly with good health. I hope you were coming from doing essential duties and not a c**k run, as that might have been your punishment for not abiding by the laws. Obey the laws of the land.
This is where the problems start.
We are a community please let’s all start looking out for each other and not judging on race and color. All lives matter.
I'm both, but why does that matter... Ignorance is indeed bliss huh.. judge not what you know not
All of you can stay there talking sh*t living all your life u see and hear about a virus stick around so long people we all need to get our act together and stop pointing fingers at each other u think it's easy to have a mask on every day come on people let's be real this is no time to joke around please
I'm going to answer afew questions:
Why did I leave my house?
I live alone, my life is shit, I am not happy but I am desperately trying to seek happiness, usually I would sit on the wall outside of my apartment and drown my thoughts out with a bottle of wine and enjoy the moonlight until I'm satisfied enough to go back to my quiet ass apartment. That night I was upset and that was exactly what I was going to do but I knew that that wouldn't be enough, so instead I decided to accept company.. COMPANY THAT WASNT A MAN!!!!
This was Not!! a sex run!!!
At this point I sincerely consider myself an asexual. I've had men and women (both being a huge fucking disappointment) and I am now unable to connect with people whether or not it's platonic friendship, family or relationship.. HENCE MY LIVING ALONE.
Why didn't you adhere to the rules, this being a *pandemic* and all?
I understand the reason for the curfew, Ive acknowledged the covid situation.. but I've also acknowledged that neither me nor the other people were covid 19 positive.. and we were not going to hunt for a party!!! There were no parties!!! It was just us and we were safe with each other.
Why were you out so late?
I work and I finish work late..
Life before covid?
I've self diagnosed myself as clinically depressed (which is the worst kind of depression) fyi for the dummies in the back. The other female, though we would talk occasionally she was the one I would go to to help me feel better, she would help me forget about what's stressing me out and what's going wrong in my life. If I would ever leave my house, it would be for her because I'm an introverted virgo, I don't party and I for damn sure don't fit in with the people who do, she's one of them but I've connected myself to her, and she to me... Covid took away how I cope with what I'm struggling with... I enjoy the stars, the moon the cool breeze of the nights air.. a drive or just parking up somewhere (like the beach) at night while listening to the waves crashing on the shore, that was blissful and soothing. So far I've been doing the right thing by adhereing to the law but that night I decided not to and an accident happened.
Sheeple of the VI, not everyone's the same, not every situation is what you might think..so stop being ignorant.
