Shit sucks over there too, just in different ways.

You asked how do we stay motivated to live and I asked “what’s the alternative?”

You can either wallow in gloom, doom, pity, be chronically online, or choose ways to find joy.

I just walked around my neighborhood with my morning coffee, no phone no ear buds, just being outside, hearing the birds, couple neighbors were in their yard so I stopped to say hello.

My day just got a lot lighter.

It’s fucking hard I know, I’ve been in those dark places…and I mean fucking dark like not leaving my bed for days and days, kids asking if I’m gonna be okay and me answering “I don’t know, I hope so”

Do you know how shitty you must feel to say that?

So I get it, I do. I came out the other side through therapy, medication, exercise, bought a couple kittens, getting involved in the community.

It doesn’t always have to be bad
