That was a phrase coined by Charles Schultz, creator of the Peanuts comic strips. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few decades, the Peanuts strips focus on a kid named Charlie Brown (who just can't seem to win at life or a single baseball game), his friends (such as wise Linus or grumpy Lucy) and Charlie's one of a kind, fun loving beagle Snoopy. These strips capture life and how sometimes you can't seem to win. Right now the real world is very stressful with the virus, politics, and going back to school. We all experience times where life throws us a curveball (or in Charlie Brown's case a fast ball) whether or not we get back up is up to us. Be like Charlie Brown and keep getting back up. Also go hug a warm puppy (unless you're allergic to them, in which case, try and hug a cat). Trust me, it'll make you happy.

I agree with @Abby. You do always post nice and positive posts. I really like this one because that is some good advice: to keep trying and never give up. We will eventually get out of this pandemic. We just have to keep trying and don't lose hope.
Justin - you always have something positive to share. I love that about you! "Be like Charlie Brown and keep getting back up." I think that's what makes him one of the most beloved characters of all time.
