Yeah it’s really easy to lose the plot sometimes. Lately at my desk at work the words “worthless animal” and “I trusted you” are what the voice in my head won’t stop shouting so I’m slowly picking up the pieces with the forest routine again and trying to get that noise to ease up a little bit
With info overload these days everyone struggles with this to some extent I do believe
For anyone with a noisy self destructive brain like mine appears to be, I got pretty good at mindfulness by walking the exact same route through the forest the exact same time every day and by just sort of casually observing the sights and smells which somehow became a mental association with “these thoughts are normal and OK” including those extremely dark ones if you know what I mean
Basically any time a bird is making a sound now I can just enter a meditative sort of state where thoughts just come and go regardless of how evil those thoughts are. I changed the angle of my skylight window in my bedroom so that it acoustically catches the sound of the birds on the tree to my east, and if you know birds they sort of go sit on the same branch and sing the same exact bullshit on a somehow perfect schedule
Lately going through the darkest period of my life. When I manage to finally fall asleep I wake up from horrifying nightmares but there is a bird that will sit on my skylight at exactly 4am and he gets me back to sleep ez and I stay asleep
I used to have a hummingbird couple that I chilled with on my balcony every sunset but unfortunately they passed away this year
Sleep deprived ramble but maybe there’s some wisdom here
You need to practice mindfulness. People should be OK with 10 minutes “staring into the void” and this is exactly the damage phones did to us
Edit: if I really want to look at my phone I open Wikipedia and check out the featured article or maybe the top read of the day list. It’s not brain rot and it’s not that fun either but it’s time well spent
No way, people commonly use that word where I live
Wait what the hell, there’s an actual anti tattoo movement in Germany? That’s legit hilarious
Dang I haven’t managed to sleep in a few days, I won’t fuck that one up again though
All I said is it’s degen behaviour
You are free to look up the word prestine by the way, which literally means in its original condition
You sound sort of like an angry republican
It’s all about politics and tribalism with you people lol
Just got divorced and found out she slept with each tattoo artist she went to and she spent money we didn’t have on those, making her progressively uglier and trashier in the process and embarrassing me in front of my family because I had to even later borrow money from them to recover from said tattoos
My wife was extremely beautiful and was able to book with popular dudes on Instagram because she looked good on their feed but each one was thousands of dollars
I feel like tattoos can only make you look worse or best case, the same, never better. Told her that during our first date I’m sure and after 10 years she almost had nowhere left on her body left to draw on
I think it’s not tattoos itself but the whole thing around all of the artists being fine with sleeping with my wife because she’s hot, I just have such a negative opinion around the entire tattoo culture now and I’m pretty sure like half of tattoo artists are just creeps
Why is not liking tattoos some sort of political affiliation?
Doesn’t Pentagon guy have a bunch of weird ass tattoos?
I’m Canadian and voted green party
Hell yeah brother prestine skin
Sounds like another person with tattoo regret
All tattoos are for degens
Yeah I did and that’s what showed me it ain’t exactly as I remember haha. Without the quality of life updates it’s just brutal

Your edit lol. You just picked the answer you wanted to hear. This is not about covid whatsoever.
I wish I could learn to nap. I’m 30 and I’ve never been able to do it. Even a 14 hour flight there is no way I’m going to nod off even for a second
