Okay-doke, folks, I never thought I never anticipated having to compose a journal entry regarding Jeffrey Epstein and the Epstein files, especially given the recent public disclosures and the exposure of names allegedly involved in the case. Some revelations are startling, while others are less so. Regarding the potential involvement of certain individuals, I remain uncertain, as everyone reveals their true nature in public. Many prominent figures portray an image they wish others to perceive. It is evident that names are circulating, indicating possible connections to certain athletes or musical artists. Unless these names pertain to individuals I care about, the Epstein files do not deeply concern me. If certain names had indeed been confirmed in the files, I believe we would already be aware of their involvement. Given the proliferation of AI-generated misinformation, I find it difficult to discern truth from falsehood anymore.

I do not wish to believe that any of my perceived friends are implicated. Nonetheless, I recognize that these individuals often project a public persona that may differ from their true selves, and whether they embody this persona in reality remains uncertain. I anticipate feelings of anger. If some individuals I admire are on that list, I will be deeply upset and will express this publicly. However, at present, the truth remains elusive, as much of what is reported in the media appears to be fabricated for the sake of generating clicks, likes, or notoriety.

When I compose journal entries based on reports—such as the claim that NASCAR athletes are involved—I feel considerable anger, especially considering that NASCAR is purportedly a family-oriented sport. I could elaborate on how I believe it no longer qualifies as such, nor is it a part of my regular viewing. The presence of certain names in the files, or individuals I believe are involved, is profoundly disturbing and causes me to question where my financial support might be directed next. I extend my prayers to the families affected, regardless of alleged involvement or confirmed facts.

Currently, I am taking a break from knitting and looking forward to departing from home today. I fervently hope that some of my favored individuals are not truly on that list. Aside from current events, we are experiencing freezing temperatures and snow cover, with additional snowfall forecasted, which complicates matters.

Over the past two months, I have ordered five hoodies related to mental health, a development I welcome, as it presents an opportunity to reorganize my wardrobe and donate items I no longer use to those in need. I plan to reduce my wardrobe, as I have become more of a homebody in recent times. Although I still enjoy going out, I find myself less inclined toward social interaction than I did in my youth—how I feel about this is uncertain. I am unsure how I arrived at this point; my mind and body seem out of sync, undoubtedly.

For the record, I did not purchase any yarn in January, and I am curious to see how long I can maintain this streak. I also recognize the need to curtail my consumption of certain items—such as coffee cups, pillows, and blankets—which I possess in excess, though with this Arctic weather, these items remain indispensable.
