No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

Getting re-certfied for security work next week, which will hopefully end a years-long spate of aimless depression by providing me with a means to go back to school and also just do fun things. I think the reason I'm good in this role is that I never wanted it in the first place and am not the kind of person to seek it out. A friend just asked me one day if I wanted to do concert security and here I am most of a decade later with years of experience in the job. No macho bullshit or high school bullying compensation, I'm the type of guard that dispenses smiles freely. I'd like to work in a hospital or medical research building this time, as places like that give me a sense of clear purpose and proximity to noble sciences that I find invigorating. Places of true human importance to which i can lend a calm and supportive presence.
