All honesty, I tend to be optimistic to a fault and try really hard to be cheerful.
Everything starts to crack once socioeconomics comes up. The news lately is all about how everything is about to get worse. “This is collapsing, that’s more expensive, getting a slice of diminishing wages is going to be even harder now! They’re cracking down here and forcing ads there.” Etc etc.
When I’m knee-deep in fixing up my servers or making art or being with my people, everything is just peachy!
But yeah, “How next money tho?” Usually starts the mental downward spiral.
I love living, can do a ton of things, love learning, but I don’t get along with churning out a repetitive task for increasingly worthless currency.
The world outside of what I’m choosing to do feels entirely impossibly out of our control. So I try to balance being informed with staying sane.
Like damn I don’t need much, can’t folk just be left alone? Lol
I feel this. Though I don’t tend to be optimistic in general about the state of my little place in the world , it definitely gets worse when I think of the big picture stuff that I have even less control over. I really wish I knew how to help, but I guess all I can do is relate and hope that you’re doing okay. At the risk of sounding insincere and acting weirdly intimate to a stranger online, we might never see each other in our lives, but we are fighting and suffering a reality that was forced upon us together. Hopefully things get better, but even if it doesn’t, we aren’t alone in this.

Wonder if a lot of people feel like I do?

oh yeah I certainly do. I mean even the churning would not be so bad if there was any indication it would end.
