I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but I'm tired of being reminded of this ten times over when I feel the most powerless to stop it than I've ever felt in my life. Now more than ever, all I see is a neighboring government undoing the little progress that we've made in the past decades I've spent worrying. I no longer see the way out like I used to. This only makes me feel miserable.

I no longer see the way out like I used to.

Don't worry, the next step is not even caring about it.

Is it worse for the world? Yes.

Is it easier on you, personally? Absolutely.

Regards for like 30 years people kept saying I worry too much. I could never let go. Never. Then something broke a few months ago or smth.

And this is what I look like now.

Apathy is the greatest weapon of the oppressor. It fucking got me. Don't let it get you, if possible.

I've been there man. What I can say that helped me is doing things myself. It's small, and people are quick to say what's the point, but I get immensely satisfaction whenever I turn off fossil fuels to another appliance. I rarely drive now, I bike, I do any little thing I can. Will it save everyone? Probably not. But I'm doing what I can, and it helps me.
