I dont know what community to post this in but here goes. I made my alarm clock in the morning birds chirping, because I like birds and thought it would be a good sound to wake up to. Wrong. The sound of birds chirping now gives me anxiety :deeper-sadness: because I hate waking up. This morning I awoke to the sounds of birds outside by window an hour before my alarm is set to go off. My other alarm sounds are really fucking weird and I dont like them. I hate it here.

    Maybe something to think about is the difference between technology and how we apply technology.

    Like, I would think waking up to an alarm that sounds like birds isn't in itself anxiety inducing; it's that you've associated the bird alarm with waking up in the [H E L L W O R L D] that's giving you anxiety.

    Or not WTF do I know I hate this shit too.

      I kinda think that any noise that rips you from slumber, your brain is going to immediately start trying to figure out if that sound represents a threat to your life. Hellworld certainly doesn't help matters, though.

      But I cannot hate HELLWORLD as it is too big, so I focus in on the alarm which is a smaller object to comprehend. I just want to hike for gods sake. I know its not tech just the way capitalists abuse tech.
