Whenever I habe to ask myself that question I remind myself I'm doing the best I can considering the circumstances of my upbringing. And that I already did a lot of good even though it often damaged myself.

Yeah! Like, singing your favorites to the dog but changing the words to be about their floppy ears or their Frito paws.

I arrange to do culturally stimulating things in the evenings or weekends like seeing a concert/opera, going to an art gallery or a movie. The rest of the time I'm pouring effort into my career or long term relationship, which are both rewarding in the long term. Sometimes I like "switch-off" entertainment like sports when I've got a free schedule.

Death being the most boring shit I can possibly imagine is pretty high on the list.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

Metabolism mostly. Kinda glommed into a listlessness of not knowing what I'm doing with my life in a professional sense.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

Not asking that question

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

I really like learning things and every day I'm here, I have the opportunity to learn more.

The incredible happiness of exchanging the time I was given on earth for money so I can pay my bills. Highly recommended, 10/10.

Landlord demands rent so I have to keep working to pay it

Basically nothing. But like I'm gonna die eventually, why try to rush to the finish line?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

But what is the point of living a slow life, if it means you'll die and it'll all amount to nothing anyways?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago

A lack of alternatives. The only option is to get up and go to work.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Surprise. Fear and surprise. And ruthless efficiency.

And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope!

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!

Pure stubborness and a fear of death.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Best motivation.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

My continued existence pisses off fascists.

I'm vegan, non-binary (with dyed hair), car-free, a member of a linguistic minority, poor, and many other things that make conservatives think the world would be better off without me. I strive to survive mostly to spite these fuckers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

If it helps, I'd quite likely be your friend if we knew eachother.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

You’re beautiful! You have every right to be here! Show those fascists indifference and live your life to the fullest!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

I, like most of us on Lemmy, live a better life than almost the entirety of the rest of human history.

Life is full of wonders and joy and there's so much more to enjoy!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

What do you enjoy? Need some tips on what to do outside of work. :)

Waiting for the day we finally and collectively eat the rich.

The self-destructive voice is a liar. We do not listen to them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

I'm too fucking lazy to kill myself, that's what.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If nothing else, my family. I don't have a good sense of the future or life goals, so I keep myself moving by setting small goals. Plans to bake something, working on a painting, just little things around the home.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

Hello fellow non life goal setter! Having that life goal mentality fucked me up for years, went to therapy and learned to live in the present while trying not to obsess about the future. So now little things are what keeps me going: Getting to yoga class, fixing a nice plate of food if I feel like it, petting my dogs, crocheting so I feel thr burden of the stuff that has to get done a little less.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

I like reading books, having meals with my spouse, seeing friends, listening to music, dabbling with my hobbies, and petting our cat.

Oh; and drugs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Figuratively: my family Literally: caffeine and sugar

[–] [email protected] 22 points 14 hours ago

Curious what I might see next.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 14 hours ago (2 children)
