Comrades, I’m feeling a bit down. Help a friend out and share something that inspires you or say something inspiring if you wish

    I’ve definitely been a mixture of 1 and 2. 1 would be used for the lesser, more common pains in life, and 2 to attempt to block out mental illness. This has not worked for me.

    The dark tunnel analogy is very good. Sometimes the last thing I want to do is feel, but I think you’re definitely right. Poems and other art forms are wonderful.

    My life has been materially easy, too. I’ve been in the battle with myself this entire time. Also, I wouldn’t call those things superficial at all - those are very real pains one feels, and just because it isn’t absolute desperation or extreme poverty doesn’t mean they aren’t valid.

    Nah, comrade. That was very helpful. I’ll try that last one. Not rambling at all. Also, that poem was beautiful. Thanks again, friend

      You’re welcome.

      I agree they aren’t superficial, it’s just a real shock when you meet someone whose lived through tragedy like watching a loved one be killed by the police or something like that. It really does kind of put things into perspective. while my pains have been real and are certainly valid they were “expected” parts of life if that makes sense.

      Capitalist society is really shit for everyone who pays attention and is sensitive though that is definitely true. If you start to feel and lose yourself to any kind of overwhelming sadness please feel free to reach out again.
