There are few things as simply, happily sweet, as a ride upon a carousel. They're like the OG amusement ride, and not ONCE (after puberty stopped curb stomping me) have I ever looked at one and gone, "boring!"
The music is fun and classic, so many places have different themes for them- like the one in the pic was at a large outlet mall and was themed to the state of Florida. It's just so wonderful to sit and take a spin or ten on a comfy, easy, merry little carousel!! I think in 2025 I'll make it a goal to ride 10 different carousels, fuck I love them.

Don't act immediately upon the desire to do something life altering like chopping off our hair, getting bangs, or a tattoo, or faking your death!
Wait 30 days. Is the temptation still there? If no, then you've saved yourself some trouble. If yes, the obviously it's a Canon event and you have to ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ

Idk if you mean hatred of your like material conditions or hatred of yourself but both were mixed together for me.
I had no idea I hated my life so much until I had to sit back last year and realize a lot of the dumb decisions I made that ruined my life as I knew it were . . . More rooted in hatred than I realized. I mean, yeah economic factors and capitalist bullshit was also a major factor but boy I could have avoided a quarter of the pain I endured if I'd just not hated myself so fucking bad.
So there I was, moved back into my childhood home with my sorta toxic family, no job, no prospects on the horizon. Everything I told myself I'd end up being because I fulfilled my own prophecy in an attempt to be someone I didn't even think I deserved to be. And I couldn't change the economy, and I couldn't change the past. But I could change me. I could appreciate what I still had left after spiraling, and appreciate the chance to grow again in the future. Started a Substack, got a hobby, learned to enjoy reading books again, etc.
So it's gonna take a lot of unflinching introspection, maybe Journaling if you're into that, and learning what your bad coping methods are so you can slowly change it . . . But it can be done. ย You just gotta change one little habit st a time. And it might take longer than you want, but it'll feel better when you do.

Even just once in your life. You got a Fandom you absolutely adore, it keeps you going and fills your life with something positive and meaningful? Give writing for it a try! Even just a 500 word dribble you plop on to Tumblr and never touch again. It's quite nice.ย
