Basically title. A ton of things in life being going badly. Aside from well...the outside world, life’s just been a slog. Broke up with my significant other, lost a family member, and I got into an argument with a sibling about how I need to moderate my political views and not be so outspoken on things (just shut up and don’t try to change things). Been getting me down and I feel myself falling into depression. Just needed to get that out and I’m just wondering: How do y’all make it through these days?

    Oh damn I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope that in your anger you can find peace, comrade.

      A trip to any beach is usually good for that. Watching and listening to the tide feels a world apart from everything else. I end up using it as a reminder of exactly what I fight for though, for people to be able to do that more.

        yeah that's the most important part for me, knowing that there is a life worth fighting for.

        Coincidentally I’m actually going to the beach with the fam. Will suck up all the sea air I can and post it at you

          Make sure you get 5 minutes alone to just absorb some of that sweet Sonder you can get from it. I get this feeling in a few places, big views of cities, by the ocean, bonfires/campfires, fireworks, etc. I think it's very important.
