Weed, lexapro, and playing guitar. And that quote from Samwise
Another Tolkien quote for ya, a battle cry: "Aurë Entuluva!" (Day shall come again!)
Everything is cyclical. Its cycles all the way down..
My.family and our dog. And lazy Sundays.
I wake up.
Yesterday i would have said my strenght but...all now just started crumbling. Every aspect of my life exept my work
Feeling that everyone's just searching for unity, even tho some ppl are going about it ass backwards and thinking they have to go thru an exclusion phase first
For me? The fact that life always changes.
A lot of times, I really really hate change. When I have a good thing going, the possibility of change makes me really anxious and sometimes depressed.
But when I'm in a bad spot? It's really really fucking hard, but I know eventually it will change. Will it change for the better or change for the worse? You can't know, but there's at least a chance that your situation will change some day, and there is a chance it will get better. It has got me going through some really very incredibly dark times where I really wanted to end my life. I still struggle with that now and then, but it's always good to have the thought of chance in the back of your mind.
Space exploration. It feels like the one awesome thing humanity is doing right now. Also maybe the most important thing humans are doing right now.
I hope the children of the future
i don't know. i might have a dark sense of humor, or maybe i am just a bad person, so the world goes to shit is somewhat amusing to watch. which is a terrible thing to say, because so so many people will be/is suffering because of all this.
Sorry to get too political, but take Trump for example. It's horrifying and depressing watching him and his rabid cult.
But...I just love the memes it can generate.
Maybe shitty of me to say/think, but you have to find humor somewhere in life. Make sour candy out of your lemons when you can't make lemonade.
I saw a screen recording of a conservative tik tok user recording a video literal moments after kirk got shot and was like "ayoo yo, there was a shooting", I just rofl'd and face palm at the same time. Dude really took the "empathy bad" to the heart, c'mon dude, have some respect, he was on "your side" 🤦♂️
My existence being a constant thorn on the side of basically evil person on the planet
(Im queer btw)
My life is pretty easy all things considered, so it's hard to lose hope in my own future wellbeing... When it comes to the destiny of the world, I have more or less lost hope for at least many regions of the world, and believe their self-destruction (which will also cause pain and suffering to others, ofc) is inevitable and perhaps necessary for the human race as whole. Hopefully the world isn't completely fucked, but if it is, well then... "we" made our bed so now we have to lie in it? And, of course, the most important pillar of my emotional stability when everything seems dark is my belief in God and the Day of Judgment, and going to sleep every night knowing I did my best, I controlled my impulses and treated people politely and generously. I know many of you think it's nonsense and won't even give it a try but the benefits for any deeply existential and sensitive person are undeniable, I'd say. 👍
"Keeps"?
Someone is making a lot of assumptions about how the last decade of being terminally online has gone that reality isn't willing to sustain.
