We've all had that unfortunate moment where we say something insensitive, unfactual or just plain stupid. These unfortunate moments are usually filled with regret, embarrassment and the wish we could reverse time to before the fopaux. What most of us can not relate to is going on a live stream and making light of the fact that many people will die from COVID 19. That's exactly what actress Venessa Hudgens did on Monday March 16th, in her live stream the famous actress said "Yeah, til July sounds like a bunch of bullsh**". This was in response to President Trump saying the corona virus pandemic could stretch on into July and August. "I'm sorry. But like- Its a virus I get it, like- I respect it, but at the same time, like- even if everyone gets it, like, yeah, people are going to die which is terrible, but like it's inevitable?" Venessa seemed to have some understanding that what she was saying wasn't the best take of the situation because she follows this statement by saying: "I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be doing this right now." Well, a lot of people agreed with her. The backlash came pouring in the next day, many people calling her heartless and cruel, accusing her of caring less about people who are not famous and rich like her. In lo of the backlash Venessa issued an apology in an  Instagram story where  she claimed her comments where taken out of context, she mentioned the fact that she is self isolating at home and is taking this situation very seriously as should everyone. This was not well received by the public, many feeling her apology was focused solely on herself and not on the victims of the virus. She issued a second apology, this time not on Instagram  but on her twitter. Personally I don't know what she was thinking when she made those statements, its obvious there was no good way to take what she said. Hopefully she has learned from this and will be more careful of what she says in the future. What's your opinion? Do you think the backlash was unnecessary? Or do you think what she said was insensitive and terrible?

Living Life During COVID 19

I was looking at Instagram and came across a post that was something that stood out to me. In the post it talked about how procrastination was a mental prison for depression. The owner of the post encouraged people to set task for them selves to follow in order to avoid falling in to the grips of depression. Many of us can say we have the unfortunate habit of leaving things to the last minute, or in some cases the last second of the last minute. This is a bad habit for anyone to have, but even more so for those suffering with anxiety or depression. Your anxiety can cause you to put something of over and over again, which in turn causes more stress and anxiety. Once your procastination causes you to be in a serious jam, like being behind on your bills or missing important deadlines, you're left feeling fustrated, ashamed and mad at your inability to cope with your mental illness. This will be something many people will be dealing with right now. Many people are being laid off there ...
