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.

    i second this. waking up to increasing light levels is way less shit than sound. i have a failsafe for a sound alarm on my phone which plays random music, which i've only ever needed like once in the last 7 months. that morning, i was like wiped out from staying up way too late to watch some bullshit movie. it went off and started with Gunship's Tech Noir, which has this spoken word part with this guy saying (in scratchy radio transmission):

    I'm recording this, because this could be the last thing I'll ever say.
    The city I once knew as home is teetering on the edge of radioactive oblivion:
    a three-hundred thousand degree baptism by nuclear fire.
    I'm not sorry, we had it coming.

    A surge of white-hot atonement will be our wake-up call.
    Hope for our future is now a stillborn dream. The bombs begin to fall and I'm rushing to meet my love.

    Please, remember me. There is... no more.

    which snapped me out of bed immediately and put me on full WTF alert until i recognized it and started laughing.
