This one’s too real.
I’m much more relaxed and enjoying life more day to day, but with that comes a lack of excitement.
I’m just not invested in anything and have no aspirations or excitement for the future, even though I’m living a life closer to what I always wanted when I was going through much harder times.
That’s the trick. Not even joking.
It absolutely is the trick.
I actually just rambled about this in a comment yesterday, but yeah this meme is pretty much my life goal:
I’m a nobody and my ability to do anything about this current climate clusterfuck (or the economy…) is near 0. I’m going to vote, recycle, keep my consumption to a minimum, donate to charities, do my best to cultivate my friendships, etc. but in many ways I’m just very much done with caring about the “big picture”. I want to live the latter half of my life in as much peace and happiness as I can, because it’s looking uncomfortably probable that shit is going to go spectacularly sideways in my lifetime, and stressing about it isn’t going to change diddly squat except make me feel worse, and I don’t have the energy for activism anymore thanks to a chronic illness.
