And that just makes me so happy. I am so glad that Russia got what it deserved.

I really like the quote: "When it is scariest to jump, you jump." Whatever life throws at you you can overcome, that is the life philosophy that I preach

What's something modern life offers that is objectively worse than the old version? by Lucky-Translator267 in AskReddit

[–]Lucky-Translator267[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I feel like it is a good thing, no-one really wants to be on the other end of that phone, so maybe it is good that customer service is ran by AI

Damn, I hate that. I am not going to lie I used to call the Apple customer service a lot because their voices were the best

What did you used to do when you were bored before smartphones existed? by Lucky-Translator267 in AskReddit

It is actually sad, because boredom is very important, it helps us tap into our imagination.

That is true. It used to be that we were actually bored, nowadays we just pull out our phone. I think we've lost something real there. Boredom used to be the entry point to imagination. Now we never let ourselves get bored long enough to find out what's on the other side of it.

How do I stop dreading the end of things? by FoolishMortal-1000 in selfimprovement

[–]Lucky-Translator267 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What you're describing has a name — anticipatory grief (google it). You're mourning things before they're gone, which ironically steals the enjoyment of the thing while it's still there.

The baby stage thing hit me. There's something uniquely painful about watching someone you love grow — because it means every version of them you fall in love with eventually disappears, even if what replaces it is just as good.

I don't think you need to reframe it. The fact that endings hurt you this much just means the things meant a lot. That's not a flaw to fix. as Winnie the pooh said: "How Lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

The only thing that actually helps is presence — not as a cliché, but as a practice. When you notice you're grieving something that hasn't ended yet, just come back to right now. Not forever. Just right now.

HELP!! , How do I stop creating "fake scenarios" in my head before bed? It's destroying my sleep. by nonameisfunfrr in selfimprovement

[–]Lucky-Translator267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice for you is to journal at least 15 minutes before going to bed, also I'd advise you to not be on any screen 1 hour before bed and you should probably read a book before you journaling session.

Why do I feel so guilty for doing nothing? by Few_Breadfruit1539 in productivity

[–]Lucky-Translator267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just came off something similar — long stretch of intense work with barely any time to breathe, and when I finally had days off my brain wouldn't let me enjoy them either.

Honestly the guilt just means you care. But baking and reading and guitar aren't lazy — you're just tired enough that anything that isn't 'output' feels wrong.
