ExistentialNightmare

For your experience to be a happy one, the experience is not primarily reliant on what is being experienced being something which brings happiness to you, it is the you, which is experiencing, that needs to be of happiness.

So, although the outer world affects the inner being and a better world will improve the inner experience for many and is therefore a just cause, the search for a life of personal happiness is primarily about the situation within you and not the situation around you. - PunkMonk

    I completely agree and relate to this to the point to where it feels uncanny, like as if I just read my own words. Past couple of months have been visually miserable and that does have an effect on mental health - Wake up, grey, midday, grey, barely existent sun goes down before you’ve even woken up properly.

    And now the sun returns and it comes with bloody headaches and earaches and a dry throat. Earth, why do you make me suffer like this?

    Where we were at as a country 15 years ago when it came to homophobia is approximately where we are at today with transphobia in my opinion. It is far too normalised, I’ll hear people joke about a friend of a friend of a friend being a ‘they/them thing’ same way I would hear about someone being a ‘bender’ back when I was still in primary school.

    Like this person you know nothing about has decided to come out as non-binary, one of the bravest and hardest decisions in their fucking life, and here you are laughing at them you pathetic, ignorant, gossiping man-child. Sorry, I just needed to get that out of me.
