I understand that many of us are tired of hearing/talking about the elephant in the room. It seems that is all that is being talked about. However, I also understand that everyone has their own distinct situation and wanted to start a thread where you could come just to get reassurance or feel close to someone in these crazy times. Feel free to talk about whatever is troubling you.

It is sad for me to say but one of my favorite authors
