Hey guys!! Well, the world has officially gone insane since I last posted. Who would have thunk, right? Is everyone managing to stay sane? If so, how are you managing to stay sane? I have definitely been drinking a lot more... and smoking. I think a complete cleanse of all media would do people well. Social media just might be the worst of all.
I'm completely sane Thankfully I don't own any social media Working out every day Dancing once a week Life coach session once a month Eating edibles twice a week Watching comedy movies for laughter
i sort of think most of us saw what direction it was going to go four years ago. i hadn't yet known the details until i looked them up, and i can only assume a great many people failed to, and of course, i'm still having to guess though, that at least some wanted it to go the way it has. sanity is not a familiarity of cultural norms (that are mostly mythical anyway) sanity is the avoidance of tripping over one's own emotional shoe laces. really has very little to do with what the rest of the world is doing, unless its doing something extremely distracting. distracting without being particulalry amusing. (as narcisstic wanna be dictators have an unfortunate tendency to be) being blessed with one's own amusements when not being distracted from them is an advantage that can be attained without recource to priveledge, which is a very good thing. you feel what you choose to look at, and i choose to look at the intersection between environment and infrastructure, and not between economics and war. it doesn't make everything else go away, and it still requires taking note of everything it takes to survive, but it is possible to choose a focus that is not depression generating.
I.m still here, and since I'm a vociferous critic of both hephatrump and the blond khazi brush I'm one of the sanest members on here.
Maybe not, but at least I have more brain cells than you, who can count yours on the fingers of one hand !!!
My sanity has slipped a little, but I'm still holding on to most of it. Came off Facebook the other day, which may help. I've also stopped watching the news, and scroll past most of the depressing stuff on Twitter. I've been tempted to go back on the weed, but I know that would be counterproductive. Not drinking too much, and popping the meds regularly.
Hey PR! Unfortunately, I do not drink as much as I use to. Still staying sane during this crazy time.
