I'm just trying to come to terms with my trauma, can the world, I don't know, improve with me or something instead of getting worse?

Sometimes you can be a little self-centered. While climate change is overwhelming, a huge catastrophe for society and humanity’s future, how much will it directly affect you? Most of us will really only see more of the same: more severe and unstable weather, modified seasons, times where food and power are more expensive. You can handle that.
Sometimes it’s ok not to think too much about the statistics telling the bigger story or the news detailing the more extreme effects. As long as you know they exist
What can you do about the things that directly affect you? What can you do about the things in your control?
It is very possible in our lifetime we will see famine and fresh water shortage.

I genuinely believe there is 0 chance we will ever heal the earth. Collapse of Earths natural systems seem inevitable.

and the adhd goblins are also there in the background
All my dopamine comes from marketed bullshit and none of it is authentic or genuine.

U live the easiest life in the history of humanity.That's not mutually exclusive with frustration at the world falling apart around us.

I am comfortable with the knowledge that I spent the best years of my life in the '90s. The music, the clothes, the general vibe, the prices... The few wars of the era look like kids playing Risk compared to what's brewing now.
The lifestyle and material conditions enabled by a century and a half of fossil fuels are coming to a close.
It will only get worse from here. There is no recovery.

There is always the possibility that we are wrong also.

U live the easiest life in the history of humanity.Correct. And I weep about it almost every day. One, because I miss it (and my youth), and two, because I look at kids today and it can't be fun.

The Earth is huge and doesn't really care about us. We disappear, in a hundred years nothing's left except some exotic isotopes in a thin geological layer.

Idk, my life is pretty fuckin great right now.

It's difficult being a millennial and trying to confront the nostalgic feeling (that naturally comes with aging) that "things were better in my youth," because things objectively were better in my youth.
Idk, I wanted to kill myself as a kid and don't now. So personally, the world seems pretty okay to me.

I'm just happy that I'm old enough not no be immediately drafted.
I wouldn't have had to worry about that anyway.
I would be considered 4F

Don't worry they make waivers for everything.
Then i get free shot at some officers!

The world's healing progresses much more slowly than the individual's. We have hundreds of years of colonialism and ecological devastation to heal from and that shit won't happen overnight. You are part of the world and your healing makes the world better. Focus on what you can do and do that. Trying to take responsibility for the whole mess will destroy you, it's out of your hands.
Okay but if it could move in vaguely the same direction as me that would be great.

Right, and this is just one of those times where the scab was itchy so we scratched it off. We re-opened the gouge and are bleeding again. The question is whether the healing is still happening, with a little backtracking, or whether we’re exposing ourselves to gangrene

I don't want to heal, I want to guillotine some billionaires.
That is healing.

Guillotine and ice cream, a winning combination.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Oh my god yes. Tart cherry saffron and rose ice cream with pistachios and lemon syrup on top, and a slice of gold leaf chocolate cake (cherry filled to create a narrative cullinary thread) while i watch a billionaire killed?
Maybe someone cute to make out with as we watch the head come off? Fried savoury spicy noodles after? Some nice music?

I've been thinking about it and Ilike stoning for this. Every person throwing a stone is deciding whether that person should suffer or die, and how much pain to inflict..
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Thats really beautiful, and a kind of poetic way to reach effective consensus.
Thank you. You're a beautiful person.

Cutting out tumors is part of the healing process.
Uncontrolled growth that blocks healthy cells from just doing their job and hogs all the resources. Hey, that metaphor ain't half bad!
