My therapist suggestion was to: bear witness.
That maybe our role is just to watch it burn, to acknowledge it is on fire.
So it's fine :) at least I don't have kids to worry about.
This fits well with my philosophy: I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.
That's beautiful, in it's own way.
I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.
If I hadn't had that morbid curiosity, I'm not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.
Here's to morbid curiosity!
This is honestly what's been keeping me going. Maintaining a sense of curiosity about what kind of whacky shit is gonna happen next.
A day at a time , take care .
