Considering all of this is going on, we’re at a very unique time in human history. We’re also forced into an unique situation where most of our routines and entertainment choices have abruptly halted. While I normally like to come here out of habit to check the threads and posts to get my theme park fix, all of this has stopped everything and makes me realize that this will affect a lot of stuff going on in the parks. HHN (At least for us in Hollywood), will suffer, the parks are closed, new ride openings delayed, and more cuts will likely ensue. I’m not upset at this, I’ve just accepted that’s just the way things are.
Instead of getting upset, panicking, or flipping out at all of the stuff going on, I’m going to see this as a time to soak in this crazy time in history. I’m going to take this extra time I would’ve spent obsessing/going to theme parks to focus a bit more on thinking outside the box; I really need to focus more on myself and personally improve on things; maybe I should eat at home more, maybe I need to think about other hobbies I can discover, maybe I should watch those movies/ read those books never got around to watching, maybe I need to self-teach myself a new skill I can learn for a career.
IDK. All of this has put me in a “self-reflection” mood while we’re in this weird point in human history. While I love theme parks, this is probably the push to get us to focus on other important priorities right now (Not saying it’s bad, but this is forcing me to focus on other priorities). But this will blow over soon. We’ll be back on track and things will recover soon. I think it would be a shame to waste this on anxiety and panic. I think this would be a great time to embrace the situation, learn from it, focus on ourselves and maybe discover new habits/things.
All of this to say: I refuse to get upset about this. It is what it is, we’ll eventually recover, and maybe it’s a good time to focus on other personal priorities right now. I wish everyone the best who is really affected by this.
