0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 2>This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. Ladies

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 2>and gentlemen, it's time for Flexi's Big Question.

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Of the week. Time for Flexies Big Question.

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.639
<v Speaker 3>A couple days ago, I pose the question what keeps

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 3>you hopeful when everything is falling apart? Because, as we know,

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 3>the horrors are endless, but we must remain hopeful and

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 3>faithful that things get better. You all answered great answers.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 3>By the way, Let's read off a couple and then

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 3>on our podcast Free and I will discuss our own answers.

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 3>Someone says something small and sure, for example, the promise

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.519
<v Speaker 3>of a nice dinner to convince me to get through

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 3>the immediate day.

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Small and sure. I'm writing that down.

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Small and short? Oh like short term? No?

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Sure, like scre something small and sure?

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I like that. I like that.

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Calmer gratitude thinking about my grandparents' courage at my same age, weekends,

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 3>blind optimism, good teachers to educate on our history, so

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>we never forget a hug from gratitude journaling and this

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.559
<v Speaker 3>one's really great, not a lot, which I think is fair.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 3>We can work on that, not together, on our own

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 3>and separately, but definitely.

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>She included the analog smiley of two dots and a

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 2>sideway slash. Yeah.

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel that this person says, my stance on issues

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 3>gives me clarity on people, I'll loose my life, but

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 3>brings about an alignment.

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 2>It's giving cutting out some toxic people which do your thinging.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 3>This person says, girl, nothing lots distracts me enough, but

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 3>queer culture is my savior. That it's for the plot,

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 3>that it's not forever, that if it redirects my focus

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 3>and perspective on a hard situation, I can change my

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 3>outlook and last but not least, for this break the

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 3>end as in the end of Living a somber note.

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like you.

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 2>It's actually appropriate.

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 3>It's appropriate because it was there, and I don't want

0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 3>to like glaze over it like you didn't write it,

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>because I pre you're being honest for me. What keeps

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.919
<v Speaker 3>you hopeful when everything is falling apart?

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I am going to go with the same answer

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>as the first person, which is a little thing to

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>look forward to. I realize that when I feel really bad,

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>it's literally like, oh my God, Like I've remember when

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:17.959
<v Speaker 2>I've been really bad. I've been like, oh my god,

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Like obviously it's a combination of things, but the biggest

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>thing is that I hadn't had anything to look forward to.

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Always need one thing to look forward to.

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Small or how does it work for you?

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Mostly it's like, for example, in March next year, I

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 2>have a trip away with girlfriends and that's keeping me

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>through because I'm like a little thing to live.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.519
<v Speaker 1>For, and that's a huge thing.

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 2>It's a big deal.

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 1>It's a big thing. Getting getting anything out of the

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>group chat.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Huge unheard of.

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You can't even go to the movies these days with

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>your friends. You have to go solo.

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 2>It's giving schoolies. And that was, as we know, twenty

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>years ago.

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I love that short and small.

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Whoever wrote that, I'm adding that, I would say, just

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 3>knowing that people have gone through harder things, and I'm

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 3>not totally fine. You'll go through the most traumatic things

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 3>every day. Just even talk to your parents. You're like,

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 3>what was your life like? And you hear the most

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 3>cooked stories and you're like, wow, I really sympathize with you.

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Are you okay?

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 3>And they're like, oh, it's fine. It was twenty years ago,

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 3>have no big deal, Oh okay, cool?

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think it's like once you go through

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>child both like everything fails in comparison.
