Ví dụ
“Art is healing. It’s very therapeutic (thuốc điều trị) for folks,” said Starzette Palmer, a board member for the Friends of Johnson County Mental Health. “You have different mediums. Maybe I’m painting. Maybe I’m dancing. Maybe I’m listening to music. As we get tied up with life and jobs, we forget about the little things we can do to heal ourselves.”

The kinksters are out and about in this week’s Missed Connections, and they’re getting downright bold. People looking to get tied up, people who want to buy poppers, people who want to hook up with a cop… all kinds of crazy desires are getting aired out here! There’s even a guy who wants to pay women to clean their houses, or so he says. Am I the only one getting serial killer vibes?

"We're going to do our best to keep these folks clean, and I think they're following the rules well. Most of them are understanding about it. Number one, I ask them to be tolerant (chịu đựng, kiên nhẫn) – to practice patience. That's the important thing you've got to ask people. Please be patient, because everybody is in such a ... rush about life that they actually get tied up in it and they forget about social distancing (cách ly xã hội), and we often have to remind them, even out here in the field, 'Hey, we have to follow this here, too.'"
