i feel like we tend to give way too much of our energy to things that donât actually matter that much. put the mean phone down and get some fresh air, good grief!! it is not the end of the world - the sun will always rise again. of course, some things do have weight, and thatâs okay! it is okay to be upset! but everything only has the power we decide to give it. we are so small and the universe is so infinite, and iâll sound like a hippie saying this (which i do not think is bad at all, they kinda had it going on), but we should pour so much more of our energy into expressing love. it makes other people feel better, it makes you feel better; itâs just the better option.

itâs a cliche for sure, but in recent years i have become a big believer in every event, good or bad, having some sort of purpose, whether it be a big or little one. i guess this helps me to stay content in the moment because it reminds me that, âhey! i know you might be upset about this thing right now, but itâll work out. you just have to let it.â i am a big time worrier, and i always want to control situations as much as i can, but i have found that if i just let them play out, theyâll go the way they were meant to. (and if itâs not in a good way, at least itâs a good story).
and, honestly, it helps me just remembering what a miracle it is to be alive at all; to have the blessing of living at the same time as the people i love; to feel the sun shine on my face in that very moment. we are so small in the grand scheme of things, but here we are!!! how wonderful is that!!!
itâs like in âviennaâ: âslow down, youâre doing fine, you canât be everything you wanna be before your time.â

Go outside and focus on one thing: greenery. Every time you see it, smile -- and you'll find yourself smiling more than you think.
At the end of the day, like hinted in your question, it's all about perspective. Let yourself feel the feelings, but know that in the grand scheme of things -- all these issues are breaking down so people like us, the optimists, can take inspired action to create better solutions that serve society today and thus inspire more positive action to be taken by those influenced by our actions.
Hope that helps <3

going through some similar motions and this measely tiktok comment unironically did like +1000 healing to my psyche. really, the key is to remember you can only do so much at once. overexerting yourself will make you too tired to consume the fruits of your labor. they will rot and/or you will not enjoy them this way. find happiness in the little, fleeting moments youâre able to foster for yourself and bite off only what you can chew. besides, you want to make sure not to do things in haste. you want a solid foundation for future you and your contentment and donât want to find any cracks in it later down the lineâŠ

this world is too cold and life is too short to not make sure that the people around you know you love them, that they matter to you. stop this mindset of needing to be nonchalant!!!! if someone leaves you after you tell them you love them, well, they werenât mean to stick around anyways. tell your friends, your family, your lovers that they are what makes life worth living! that they are sunshine personified to your heart and soul!! the real ones will stay, and theyâll tell you the same. too many people donât realize how loved they are. 2025 is the year of telling people you love them. flat out.

iâm definitely not the first person here to make a rec about this, but my tired brain is truly rejoicing. i have a very hard time completely leaving it since i communicate and share creative work through the app, but i think iâve decided i will only be on it once a week or when i need/want to post. thatâs all. as an already anxious person, seeing the same anxiety-inducing general information (as in something i could easily find on google or a news app) be reposted by 20+ people on their stories has become HELL, especially these last few weeks. not only that, but the constant push of personal opinions about such matters (even if i agree with them) just seems to warp your perception of people. maybe iâm just a wimp, but i donât think humans were meant to see each other in such a way; weâre not so flashy and impulsive face to face. add the endless scrolling onto that, and itâs downright exhausting and kills productivity. there is so much more dimension and depth to humans and life than what is said or done or seen through this screen. can we please go back to flip phones?
