It’s been a hot minute since I’ve wrote anything, let alone anything public. So buckle up here we go with some shit!
First and foremost, I personally find it difficult to remain here, in this community for extended periods of time. The reason, at least for me, is quite silly. I get really tired of seeing blogs and posts and tangents. Ironically, this is one of them in retort of those things.
Yes, please feel free to vent and express yourself. Yes, please get it off your chest and allow yourself to be able to communicate those frustrations. HOWEVER, there must come a time where YOU, the victim/frustratee must take action and find resolution to said victim stance/ frustrations. The world is truly unfair. You are not alone in your struggles or frustrations. But you are responsible for your reactions and intervention to those struggles. You, as an individual. You got depression, so does 280 million people worldwide. You have financial struggles? So does 70% of the planet.
The point is you are not alone. You are validated in your emotional pains; you are recognized in your financial struggles. You are not the only person with problems. Good thing is, we all know. We see it, often. Mental health is a thing, a very real thing. So, what are you going to do about it? Skipping your meds for drugs? Sure. Sadly, weed doesn’t fix this, not by a long shot. If anything it makes it far worse and develops an avoidance to true coping skills and conflict resolution. People keep asking about you? Drop the “I’m fine” act and admit you’re not doing, ok? Bank account is not where you feel it should be and you have to resort to asking for subs and donations? All good resources, unfortunate it’s not up to others to support you. You got skills and a talent, use them. Otherwise find new one’s. Ask anyone who never lived their dream and had to work a regular job to get by. An object will not change its motion unless a force acts upon it. Well, we call that intervention. You will not change unless something, someone or somehow you recognize the need for change.
Just as I’m sure their will be a rousing comment section to this, I stand by what I say. I am not shaming you. I am not minimizing your struggles or pains. I am not devaluing your need for help or a place to vent. I’m just saying, for me, personally, it drives me away. Which I also feel is a contribution to why so many people leave. We came here for a community, not a community of complaints. It’s overwhelming at times. Then again, this is just my little soap box. Take it or leave it. I’m not offended or upset by what you feel the need to say, I just don’t stick around to see more of it. I’m really good at vanishing when I don’t want to be seen or heard. Even before the internet was popular.
For those of you who do post interesting, fun and interactive discussions, keep on keepin on. You the real community that keeps this place going. I appreciate you, all of you who do.
That’s all. Nothing more. K bye.
