Hey @RogersHistory - I need to take a break today from social media. So busy and to be honest our collective voices not being heard and most of us remaining disrespected by government BUT I wanted to say I hear you and your grief and loss and have a message-

Don’t give up. On love or on your edudate thing or on your self. In terms of love: bit of vulnerability here so stand by, most people are shocked when they hear I am on my own, for years. I may not be a supermodel but I am a really, really nice person and financially stable and

Have a great job etc. yet still, I am on my own. My friends don’t understand it. I guess can see why you would be affected more now, as we are all so isolated, but don’t give up. I try hard not to, and not to be cynical in a world where married men message me

Out of the blue, or people with no interest in anything other than the superficial, and it is hard. But don’t give up! You are not on your own. Just because people don’t say it publicly doesn’t mean that what you say doesn’t resonate. People think I have jt all

And must have men tripping over themselves to spend time with me - not true. One of my friends even said I was akin to ‘Jenni Anni sad’ and then had to explain the meaning. DON’T give up. (Am now closing my DMs by the way as this ISNT a desperation plea for a man!!)

In terms of your edudate thing: don’t let the nay sayers stop you! If there is a niche for this, then why not you? Why not now? Do it and help people network and find friendship and possibly something more. Don’t listen to others - listen to you! Listen to those that appreciate

What you are trying to do for them! And finally, most importantly, don’t give up on you. In the political cyclone that has become our country, and in such a time as this, the worst of times, let this be also the best of times. Continue to reach out

You will see that you really are not alone. It may have been mental health week last week, but in the same way that Mother’s Day happens once a year, yet I celebrate mine on a daily basis, mental health matters every day. You matter. Whether you feel it or not. I heard you

And now I have probably made a total fool of myself forever on the Internet, but I wanted to say that, to you, and to anyone else who feels what you feel. We are disconnected right now, but also more connected than ever. I don’t know you, have never met you, but I hear you.

Have a great day. I will be trying to cool my frazzled brain and clear my mind so I can get on with the business of adverts for teaching positions in my school come September, finalising our budget, thinking about how we can resume the education and CPD of our children and staff
