I got my COVID shot today! Christopher is scheduled to get his later in the week. 💉 I didn’t get a sticker… 😢 so I just drew myself with one! 😁

If you’re worried or afraid to get your shot, your feelings are valid, as long as you don’t use them as an excuse, refuse to inform yourself, or lock yourself up in echo chambers of disinformation. The stakes are far too high with this, and your choices affect everyone. Here are some links to inform yourself:

• https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-vaccine/art-20484859
• https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/facts.html
• https://yalehealth.yale.edu/yale-covid-19-vaccine-program/who-should-and-shouldnt-get-covid-19-vaccine
• https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/why-you-should-get-a-covid-19-vaccine-even-if-youve-already-had-the-coronavirus

If you CAN get a vaccine, and you’re trying to get out of doing it for some illegitimate BS excuse, you’re either selfish or a dumbass. Get your vaccine –you will likely have to stand in long lines or get up early in the morning to book an online appointment. Want normalcy? Get a vaccine! That’s the price we have to pay. Do you consider yourself a patriot? Get a vaccine! Do it for yourself. Do it for others. Be a good person!

And if you can’t get a vaccine due to a genuine medical condition, I am sorry. I hope as many people as possible get it so we can all help keep you safe!

Also, don’t stop wearing a mask just because you’re vaccinated. No one is safe until most of us are, barring those who truly cannot get a vaccine even though they wish they could. Listen to the experts! This isn’t the time to be screwing around.

This drawing was meant to be accompanied by a long post describing my acceptance of being agnostic, a word I’ve only begun to use to describe myself this year, after one last, deep foray into religion that ultimately helped me finally be free.

In the end, I decided to post it by itself –well, mostly. This was going to be a lot longer. But I feel that my road to peace, to breaking away from religion and trying to find my spirituality without being constrained by fear or indoctrination, is more between me and my maker (I do still believe in intelligent design, but I also accept that it may not be a thing, I just wish that hopefully this is the case) rather than something I should share as a long diatribe.

The short of it is, I feel at peace –I had to grieve, in a way, but now I am happier than before. I was afraid that accepting what I suspected in my heart since childhood meant the world would lose its wonder and magic, but it has not: the world holds incredible wonder regardless of how it came to be. The only difference in my life, truly, is that I am free from fear, and left with wonder alone. I’m grateful for the journey.
