When It Feels Like It All Sucks, Can You Find Positivity Anywhere?
Yes, but it probably won’t feel all that positive.
If you’re reading this, chances are that today feels like a really awful day. Let’s be honest. A terrible, unkind, hateful, spiteful bigot is swearing an oath we all know he can’t and won’t uphold today. The future of the United States, and the world, feels incredibly, frighteningly uncertain.
Even his supporters are feeling the misery, negativity, and depression. He carries it like a badge of honor and doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself. This is massively upsetting, depressing, and scary, all at the same time.
It feels very much like it all sucks right now. How did we get here? Did the CERN supercollider somehow suck us into an utterly backasswards alternative universe when they turned it on? Are reason, common sense, and logic out to lunch for good?
These are, of course, rhetorical questions. Yet we all still ask them in one sense or another. Particularly when it feels like it all sucks and there is next to nothing that we can do about it.
What can you do? Only this: Take hold of your life and keep living.
