I've been seeing a lot of so-called Misha fans dragging him for supposedly dating already. So Ima throw my two cents right into that pond.
....... Misha, like I'm 99.2% positive all of us, struggled (and are still struggling) through this pandemic. Quarantine and anxiety and stress do not an awesome sandwich make. This has been hard. Very hard, for all of us, Misha included.
Couple that with undergoing a second surgery not so far removed from the first and traversing through a massive personal upheaval. Not to mention, possible financial concerns. Not to mention, co-parenting two children who, themselves, may be confused and upset and angry and sad.
It's a lot. Especially for someone like Misha, who, himself, has said that he thrives on contact and intimacy. To have everything shifting upside down and not have your usual go-to for support or advice or tactic of taking you outside your head for a bit is a massive change.
It's hard to keep your eye on land when you're fighting to keep your head above water.
So allow the man a moment to date or flirt or hold hands or do whatever to keep his head above water. It's a sad state to see people going after Misha just because he was seen with someone else. Pretty sure he's allowed to be happy, even if it's for a brief moment.
After all, don't we all deserve that?
(And, as a side note..... here to tell anyone that'll listen that even though a surgery is labeled 'common' and done by a surgeon 'whose done hundreds of these', that does not make the situation any less stressful or nerve wracking. Just a PSA.)
And this got super long, sorry. I'm gonna go play with crystals now....
