Fight DESPAIR with kindness
I was in a massive doom spiral today about how America is tunneling towards fascism and nearly sick to my stomach on a really crowded trolly when I heard a little boy say to his mom “oh I want to sit down.” I instantly said “here take my seat. I’ll switch places with you.” and I felt better. Like in a moment. Just do something kind. Everyone. (I mean also fight fascism and don’t comply with anything) but also be kind.

This is a scientific fact, if you didn’t know. One of the best and lasting ways to feel better is to do five good deeds in one day.

do something little that makes a difference
A therapist told me once that when I was despairing about the world (which is always) to do something small that can make a difference to someone else - she suggested buying a street newspaper, but I will also give money to someone who asks, tip my barista well, bring in my neighbor’s garbage cans, say thank you and mean it.

Caring and kindness still exists
I also have been feeling a lot of this recently— I feel such a nihilism surrounding everything right now. My friends often feel more distant from me, or rather I more distant from them. I think people have been subconsciously forced and influenced to desensitize themselves to life completely because of all the terror and destruction in the world. And it breaks my heart. But yesterday I was riding a very crowded bus and witnessed strangers taking care of each other; offering up seats, picking up belongings others had dropped, spotting and holding out hands to older folks who needed help walking. I have been savoring every time I get to witness something like this now, it feels so real and special. And I try to love love love care care care as much as I possibly can!

tv can serve multiple purposes
Yeah severance is the best tv show on right now and I will watch it and discuss the nuances and the shots and coloring and the writing!! like That’s art, that’s critiquing culture, that’s bringing something new to the table I will ALSO sit my ass down with wine and popcorn and watch the new love is blind episodes(and love island this summer!!!) because tv can also serve the purpose of shutting my brain O-F-F !!

Delete whatever keeps distracting you on your phone
You can always redownload it. If I keep opening Pinterest during work, just delete it for a while!! I can download it again. Also we all know I mean Twitter and that I can’t go on it bc it will depress me .
