  • Yeah. I keep trying to tell myself to break those mountains down into mole hills. And when I start seeing the sea of mole hills, I try to remind myself to just pick one and start.

    And then there’s the perfectionism. Or at least the make it decent enough that it won’t break when I look at it.

    Some days are better than others. I have learned to accept that and not give myself such a hard time about it.

    I went to my first protest this year. It was even out of state. Huge win in my book.

    ~Not world changing. But it did change me.~



  • Only because we have no idea what the impact of our actions (or inactions) will be (until it’s too late). If we knew the outcomes ahead of time — even if only a day from now — I guarantee you we all would act much differently; differently is indifferent to being simply “good” or “bad”, because there will always be people out there ready to take advantage of every situation.


  • That was me two years ago (and some change) when I was still married. My ex wife was the one to pull the trigger, and it was the best thing she could have done for the both of us (and our kids).

    I was mad at her for a while. It was also terrifying having to move out and start over by myself, with no friends, and being a single father every other week. But I am sitting here in my house, hanging out after coming home from the gym, and simply enjoying the quiet time I have.

    Yeah, I do miss having a relationship. It would be nice if I had friends too (I lost those in the divorce). But, it’s also nice to not have anybody but myself to answer to sometimes. And if I don’t do the dishes or take out the trash, there’s nobody there to give me attitude about it; it still gets done, but on my schedule and my terms.

    All of that to say that if you’re genuinely not happy, and you feel there is nothing left to fight for, maybe leaving is not the worst thing you can do; it’s scary as fuck, but not that bad in the long run. Save your money, make your plans, and be open and honest with your partner when the time comes.






  • I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest maybe it’s not your view of life that’s getting downvoted, but how tone deaf you come off about how other people don’t necessarily hold your views.

    Despite having hobbies, interests, getting out and doing positive things, I myself (for example) still feel defeated. And how I feel is just as valid as how you feel. That doesn’t necessarily make me emo, sappy, melancholy, cynical, nor pessimistic. Yes I can be all or some of those things, but then again, so can you.

    So think on that before you start putting other people down for things you don’t necessarily understand.

    Ps

    The thread comments will further prove my point more than likely.

    Now who’s being pessimistic and cynical?
