How fun is it to be in this time period right now? Of course, I'm asking that question dipped in sarcasm. It really sucks to be in this time period, as anybody really. It may even suck for that 1% that has so much money that they don't even blink at what's happening but who really knows. I know I cant speak for those kinds of people but I can speak for those that are in the same category as me or at least close. 

As someone who is in my 20s and is already struggling enough as it is to not only make a living but to LIVE this war that has broken out has made a huge impact on our gas prices. It personally sucks big ass donkey balls to see the way that this has turned out and I think that it's awful that we are getting slammed with so much ****. The past three years have just gone from moderate to just outright outrageous in terms of "what else can go wrong?" (and whoever keeps asking that question out loud, please shut it. You're just asking the universe to drop more **** yous).  Really if you look at the scales of how this is going in our country/ world wide it just keeps going up on the scale and eventually it's going to break. We will not be able to sustain anything and a lot of people are already ****ed up from Covid so let's not raise gas prices and make it even harder for jobs, distributers, and just normal people to have a life. 

I'm blown away. In Tennessee right now the highest I have seen for Gas is around $4.60 per gallon and for diesel, it's over $5 in most parts of the state. My friend and I even traveled to Chattanooga and where we were going you have cut through Georgia for about twenty minutes or so and there the gas prices were practically $5 per gallon and diesel was, of course, higher than regular. I was blown away by this. I mean it's one thing to shut the world down but now gas has skyrocketed to a price that even I am worried about. In a van that gets 16 miles to the gallon and thinking about long-term travel, I can see that being a no-go. Let alone going to look at places to live. I'm not gonna waste money away just searching the area and thinking it COULD be a place to go while I'm spending hundreds of dollars just driving around. 

I really hope this goes down, that the prices become somewhat normal for this time period because my lord, we do not need this kind of change in gas prices with the way the world is at the moment. I'm already worried about a million things and this war in Ukraine is just the beginning of pandora's box. We were already scratching the surface with covid but this digs a huge hole into it. I'm not excited for what the rest of the 2020's hold because this is a terrible start.

Also, side note on this, I do pray for those that are in Ukraine and im not one who usually does those sorts of things but I am praying for those over there that are caught in this middle of this and have nowhere to go. Just a tragedy that things have come down to this.
