I’m doing well. I have a good life. But holy shit, I’m so tired. The world is so terrible and I’m just fed up. I wish I could just check out and take a break, but it keeps going. Cheers.
This post is certainly outside of the norm of shower thoughts. I think in general people want posts that score a little higher on the scale of funny and interesting. Taking the sidebar strictly:
- Does this thought pop into people’s heads? yeah, probably
- Is it lighthearted? Not really, but its friendly.
- Is it clever? No
- Is it true? Yes
It doesn’t really vibe with the rest of the sub but idk what sub one would put this in.
Ah ok that’s a much better fit
Sorry I had to run and didn’t get to wrap up my thought.
I don’t really mind if a post isn’t a perfect fit. I try to give the benefit of the doubt. If we had hundreds of really strong posts every day then I imagine I would be more strict. Lemmy is small so at least we can be friendly and supportive in decisions that aren’t clear cut.
Exist out of spite. The terrors persist, but so do I.
Ooh, I like this. Thanks!
Thanks, idk if op needed this but I did
I like this. Let’s do it.
At this point I’m convinced that the terrors are persisting out of spite for me, personally.
Welp terror gonna terror, i guess. Hence the existing out of spite!
I’m tired boss
A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn’t feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don’t know how long
Hello darkness my old friend, I have come to speak with you again…
Burnout.
Same, fellow human, same.
I’m with you dude (virtual hug)
I say find a hobby you can do and check out. Today I was flying my kite and tuned out
I love flying kites. I haven’t done so in a long time. Thanks for reminding me.
I just bought a prism synapse and flew it for the second time yesterday, it has been pretty fun. Also did some geocaching afterwards.
I enjoyed seeing the map created by the robovac my partner bought, so I feel like we’re enjoying similar things.
Take a week. Avoid any social media, news, etc. as much as you possibly can. Try to get out in nature by going for short walks and just focus on doing things you enjoy (or try something new). Yes, the world keeps going - but you need to recharge your batteries, my friend. Take. A. Break.
This is the way.
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideon’s Bible
Open at page one
I said, God, he stole the handle and,
The train it won’t stop goin’
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath
I’ve never heard this song, but it can be sung to the tune of Folsom prison
Mind blown
Just listen to the song and you’ll hear rock music’s best and worst flutist at the same time.
No one fluttertounges like Jethro
Nice deep cut
I was never one to analyze dreams but I thought it was comical a couple weeks ago I told someone I have repetitive dreams where I am just hanging out in an empty parking garage at night. Just grey cement, don’t really know what floor it’s on, not the bottom, not the top. Throwing a ball around with a couple people I don’t know or can’t even see. The ball rolls down the ramps when someone doesn’t catch it and we spend most of our time running back down to fetch them. At no point in time am I ever trying to change what’s going on, the conversations are just blurs of nothing worth noting. Yet I still don’t want the dream to end and have to get up so I keep pushing it forward.
Not till they mentioned that interprets to feeling worried/ stressed, stuck, and unmotivated did I ever consider, well yeah… Of course that’s what that means. I haven’t had that dream since, but it was comical to take something I was blatantly ignoring and putting words to it.
Not saying any of it has real merit, just conversing
That’s just the impending clinical depression creeping in.
Nah, I’ve had many depressive bouts (bi-polar). This is more like I’ve given up on the world post-Trump-2. I’m checked out to avoid the depression. One could argue this is still pre-depression, and I wouldn’t argue back. But it’s not yet depression. I note that you said creeping… I’m distinguishing between them.
yeah, I know what you mean.
Wrong sub, but I agree with you wholeheartedly Every single word of it.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I also think of overthrowing the oligarchy in the shower.
