A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.
We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!
This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.
Rules:
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
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.
Check out this cool bee!

This bee is extremely cute and I love it.
As of about a month ago my life has unexpectedly impeoved. I suddenly don't actively want to die all the time anymore. Now that is not written upon my face that my heart has been tortured into a pit of darkness where hope goes to die, I now have hot people throwing themselves at me and I'm handling the attention with caution, discipline, patience, emotional maturity, resilience, and self awareness but not fear. My friends are beginning to get to stand down and stop worrying about me. My therapist is happy and relieved, dumbfounded, at how different and not bleak I suddenly am. I started HRT last week. I reconnected with an estranged sibling and it went great. I'm being so much more social.
I'm working out again without flashbacks. I'm eating healthier automatically without any effort or resistance. I've lost some weight and I'm also getting stronger. I'm not spreading despondency so much. I am curious about what lies ahead in life instead of despondent and convinces there's nothing but suffering. I'm still upset about being emotionally abused and scapegoated by my ex / former best friend because it turns out abusing me is easier than them going to therapy for real, and that is still something that will have to be dealt with at some point, but for now I get a break from suffering and can maybe enjoy life a bit.
