Why do you think I’m so active on Lemmy? I am lonely. Deeply, deeply lonely. Have been my whole life and it only has gotten worse thanks to COVID. Mental health is collapsing in general for a lot of people after COVID and I just can’t keep up. I’ve got no hope. No drive. No motivation. Half the time lately I’ve been getting out of bed just to post memes because at least its a little less lonely here and people suck a little less. Everyone’s a little kinder.
The world feels a lot darker than it did 5 years ago.
If anyone wants to come over, smoke a little weed or drink a little beer, my home is open.
Doubt you live in Saskatoon, but if you do, we can sit by an open fire, eat some mushrooms I grew myself and play with the dog outside when it warms up in about three months.
I have a lot of wood.
I’m in Ontario… so close and so far.
That last line is sus in the best way
You wake up on a planet where your species is living in a terrible system of exploitation, learn that the planet is heating up, it feels like noone can do anything or talk about any of it. We’re shown people dying and told we’re headed that way.
But there are sparks and small flames where like-minded people will huddle. Get close and enjoy the warmth. Adversity can be a seed for growth.
Your posts make another loners’ lives a little less miserable. That’s something. Last years completely shut my creativeness and I’m kinda surprised so much people are still able to bring joy, laughter into my life, especially in this small and comfy place. If it makes you leave the bed, it’s for the better. Maybe it’d inspire you to undertake other things too.
