I need advice chat.
My personal life is thriving. Im making progress personally, socially, professionally.
But the existential dread that my insistence on being a little faggot activist is going to get me camped keeps getting worse.
How are we coping? Kiss girls, drink cocoa?
kissing girls, trying not to read the news every day, currently distracting myself by moving
but dang it’s rough out there and i’m so tired
I'm kinda on the same camp and I dunno. Making a difference for people is helping, as is climbing and spending time with people I adore, but the dread sits in me regardless
Lots of girl kissing and snuggle puddles. Very effective.
Kissing girls
Smoking spliffs
Caring for the household
Playing and cuddling with the dog
Being a friend to cats
cope…ing?
i uh…
I’m thinking I might need to take a break from a lot of online social spaces. I think everyone’s existential dread is feeding off of each other.
those are two very good options. i personally don't think i would survive if i weren't myself. so i'll keep being myself as long as i can and extract as much joy from the world as i can.
and maybe there's some stripe of optimism that i'll find a way through. i'm usually good at solving problems..
I think those are good options. Maybe a little art that isn't about anything in particular and yet ends up encompassing everything in general.
Certainly better than what I decided on
My house has never been cleaner...
Minimize your interaction with the news. Also try not to steal pain/concern from your future self. It won't reduce the pain/concern from future you if you steal it to have now and right now the bad things arent happening. Well the worst things you're worried about arent anyway.
for me it is taking it a day at a time with as much digital time as I can get with the people I know care about me until such a time as I can spend time with them in-person
Got distracted by health struggles for a bit, but now I guess it's finding ways of coping and calling out bullshit.
I'm having to cope by not thinking about it and living up my life as long as I can. Apparently, thriving IN SPITE OF fascism is a form of protest? But idk it seems like acceptance, condonation. It's hard, bestie.
