    SpaceGeneral · 12 hr. ago Snow because I have to clear it to get out to work, when I had snow days it was awesome, now it's a pretty chore. Mowing grass, when I was younger I'd drink and mow grass, I'd have so much fun I would mow half the neighbors yard too, now I'm sober mowing and I'm like meh, I'll mow tomorrow, don't look forward to it at all now.

    Longjumping_Bus7931 11 hr. ago People that emote more than they rationalize. Like "that makes me feel bad, therefore it's bad." It's such a childish way of going about life. The most refreshing thing is seeing someone getting mildly corrected and saying something like "Oh, didn't think of it like that." IT'S OK TO BE WRONG! WE'RE HUMAN! Lol. 155 Reply Share

    MinimalCollector · 11 hr. ago I think I'm getting tired of people and not being the change they want to see. Tired of the litter? Go pick it up. Tired of how elections turn out? Show up to your local elections. Join your local chapter of xyz organization. There's so much learned helplessness and so much negativity surrounding it. It's suffocating. Tired of there not being communal spaces/community? Start engaging with the ones that exist, or be brave enough to start your own. ⇧ 232 ↓ Reply Share
