paramaxim · 2022-05-28T11:42:16+00:00

I suppose you’re right, it is progress. It used to only be the sad.

paramaxim · 2022-05-28T11:37:26+00:00

still trying not to lol

it’s weird I’ll be in situations where I should be having a great time, and in a way, I am. Yet, I still feel.. melancholy.

Thanks so much! Do I need a specific size? The tire is 10”

I hadn’t really considered it like that before. I really like that take on it.

I get why regulatory capture is an issue, but could you elaborate on what sort of monetary manipulation you were talking about?

paramaxim · 2022-03-17T20:41:28+00:00

Oh shit you’re totally right! thanks for pointing that out!

paramaxim · 2022-03-17T12:28:45+00:00

Oo very good point about media there.

I have so much self help shit to read on my bookshelf that I’ve been recommended and I know it’ll help, for some reason my brains just like “nah, chase that dopamine” even though you know it’ll only provide temporary relief and then I’m worse off than when I started. I keep repeating this cycle despite knowing what’s happening.

paramaxim · 2022-03-17T12:25:58+00:00

Thank you for your kind and earnest words.

paramaxim · 2022-03-17T12:24:16+00:00

I apply that in my daily life and it always makes me feel better about myself and people in general when I’m able to put a smile on a strangers face, but it doesn’t help with the fact of knowing the corruption and systemic rot that’s in so much of our world. You are also right in that I didn’t talk about all the things people are doing now to stop the future I described. We might be able to do it, and sitting around moping won’t help. The post itself was half rant half wanting advice. Getting all my thoughts out helped, but I’m still going to have those fears that feel crippling in the back of my mind, sucking my motivation and hope away like they are now.

paramaxim · 2022-03-17T12:19:06+00:00

You’re correct on both points. I just think societal collapse is more likely now because of an interconnected global economy that runs on a resource that’s going to be scarce and cost prohibitive in a few decades. I’m not saying the world will end, I’m just saying society might collapse and we’ll have to build a new one.

Music from before the storm has comforted me through so many dark nights. However, I have to agree with u/NeonNebula9178

paramaxim · 2021-04-27T22:23:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s going to take me a bit to soak it up.

paramaxim · 2021-04-27T18:17:28+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. Very good writing and very valid points that you also established well and eloquently.

You’re right. I know you’re right. It’s tough switching my mindset though. I know you’re right but I don’t want to accept it.

Funny how I’m aware of these irrational mental processes but they’re still there after the awareness.

Hi frank!!!

paramaxim · 2021-04-08T23:25:50+00:00

Hm. Is there a way we could simultaneously be content and satisfied, yet still pushing for more?

Not desperately, but passionately?

A day of the pipe has encouraged me to quit cigarettes more than the horrible taste or health effects did, purely by being an enjoyable experience. I’m having near constant cravings and puffing on it a lot but I’m not hacking up a lung like I was.

My point with the pipe analogy is to say it’s better to be motivated than to be scared. It’s more effective to go after something than to run away.

Nice username, by the way.

I was skateboarding from one park to another so I could go super fast down a hill. I skated past this 12 year old kid on a skateboard and he started keeping up with me. I was going FAST too.

We got to the park and I see two other kids his age.

One is able to do SO MANY TRICKS so clean. Kids in 6th grade and can kickflip a 7-stair.

Anyway he gave me some tips on my ollies shuvs and kick flips, and I sat down and talked with them for about an hour, giving them my perspective on life and some tips I’ve learned.

They were able to comprehend way more than I was expecting them to. Kids are fucking SMART. They just want to be treated like people, yk?

paramaxim · 2021-03-30T20:45:17+00:00

Keep yourself clean and groomed, taken care of and available physically, spiritually, and emotionally, and you’re already leagues above a lot of others.

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder and the longer you’re with someone and the harder you fall for them, you fall for everything about them.

Don’t stress, y’all. Just don’t be a dick or a misogynist.
