    A nap usually does me good. But I’m having a hard time today because my family is in Chicago and I’m worried about the lunatics statements this week.

    When I’m sad I often listen to The Lonely Island, the stupidity and silliness cheers me up.

    Suffice to say that I basically know all their songs off by heart.

    Watching that video of Charlie Kirk’s neck exploding was the last happy moment I experienced.

    So much suffering ended and prevented with 1 shot, so many lives saved and improved. The world tangibly became a better place on 9/10/25

    So, more of that plz. :3

    Breakfast burritos do it for me sometimes too.

    A cold shower. It takes a huge amount of effort for me to actually do it, but if I do, it’s the best thing ever. Immediately changes my mood, literally cools my head down and I can’t think anything else except “ahhhh cold!” while doing it.

    Afterwards it feels like a big accomplishment.

    Mindfulness meditation is sometimes all it takes. Your mental state is often fully under your control, and in those times you can choose to put down whatever you were upset about and then move on with being happy.

    “Remember, it is not enough to be hit or insulted to be harmed, you must believe that you are being harmed. If someone succeeds in provoking you, realise your mind is complicit in the provocation. Which is why it is essential that we not respond impulsively to impressions; take a moment before reacting, and you will find it easier to maintain control.” – Epictetus

    I’m very lucky to have a friend that doesn’t try to make me “feel better”. She just sits with me and makes me feel… not alone.

    I hope I can return the favor one day, but more importantly I hope she never feels this level of despair to begin with.
