Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms.
Speaker 2: This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. Ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, it's time for Flexi's Big Question.
Speaker 1: Of the week. Time for Flexies Big Question.
Speaker 3: A couple days ago, I pose the question what keeps
Speaker 3: you hopeful when everything is falling apart? Because, as we know,
Speaker 3: the horrors are endless, but we must remain hopeful and
Speaker 3: faithful that things get better. You all answered great answers.
Speaker 3: By the way, Let's read off a couple and then
Speaker 3: on our podcast Free and I will discuss our own answers.
Speaker 3: Someone says something small and sure, for example, the promise
Speaker 3: of a nice dinner to convince me to get through
Speaker 3: the immediate day.
Speaker 1: Small and sure. I'm writing that down.
Speaker 2: Small and short? Oh like short term? No?
Speaker 1: Sure, like scre something small and sure?
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 3: Calmer gratitude thinking about my grandparents' courage at my same age, weekends,
Speaker 3: blind optimism, good teachers to educate on our history, so
Speaker 3: we never forget a hug from gratitude journaling and this
Speaker 3: one's really great, not a lot, which I think is fair.
Speaker 3: We can work on that, not together, on our own
Speaker 3: and separately, but definitely.
Speaker 2: She included the analog smiley of two dots and a
Speaker 2: sideway slash. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel that this person says, my stance on issues
Speaker 3: gives me clarity on people, I'll loose my life, but
Speaker 3: brings about an alignment.
Speaker 2: It's giving cutting out some toxic people which do your thinging.
Speaker 3: This person says, girl, nothing lots distracts me enough, but
Speaker 3: queer culture is my savior. That it's for the plot,
Speaker 3: that it's not forever, that if it redirects my focus
Speaker 3: and perspective on a hard situation, I can change my
Speaker 3: outlook and last but not least, for this break the
Speaker 3: end as in the end of Living a somber note.
Speaker 1: But I feel like you.
Speaker 2: It's actually appropriate.
Speaker 3: It's appropriate because it was there, and I don't want
Speaker 3: to like glaze over it like you didn't write it,
Speaker 3: because I pre you're being honest for me. What keeps
Speaker 3: you hopeful when everything is falling apart?
Speaker 2: Okay, I am going to go with the same answer
Speaker 2: as the first person, which is a little thing to
Speaker 2: look forward to. I realize that when I feel really bad,
Speaker 2: it's literally like, oh my God, Like I've remember when
Speaker 2: I've been really bad. I've been like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: Like obviously it's a combination of things, but the biggest
Speaker 2: thing is that I hadn't had anything to look forward to.
Speaker 2: Always need one thing to look forward to.
Speaker 1: Small or how does it work for you?
Speaker 2: Mostly it's like, for example, in March next year, I
Speaker 2: have a trip away with girlfriends and that's keeping me
Speaker 2: through because I'm like a little thing to live.
Speaker 1: For, and that's a huge thing.
Speaker 2: It's a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's a big thing. Getting getting anything out of the
Speaker 1: group chat.
Speaker 2: Huge unheard of.
Speaker 1: You can't even go to the movies these days with
Speaker 1: your friends. You have to go solo.
Speaker 2: It's giving schoolies. And that was, as we know, twenty
Speaker 2: years ago.
Speaker 1: I love that short and small.
Speaker 3: Whoever wrote that, I'm adding that, I would say, just
Speaker 3: knowing that people have gone through harder things, and I'm
Speaker 3: not totally fine. You'll go through the most traumatic things
Speaker 3: every day. Just even talk to your parents. You're like,
Speaker 3: what was your life like? And you hear the most
Speaker 3: cooked stories and you're like, wow, I really sympathize with you.
Speaker 1: Are you okay?
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, it's fine. It was twenty years ago,
Speaker 3: have no big deal, Oh okay, cool?
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's like once you go through
Speaker 2: child both like everything fails in comparison.
