I've been feeling kinda down on myself recently and it makes me think about the plight of the soft-shelled crab, I used to work at this restaurant where we served them seasonally. It was interesting to learn to stick your finger up its rear pull its entire guts out and throw them in the trash, then deep fry the rest of it. It made me think about my entire life and how little control or choice I had and how insignificant I am in the bigger picture of the world. I still have a lot of basics to be thankful for a cabin to rent with heat running water, and employment. Don't get me wrong I am still a spoiled American. Even the motivation to think clearly and function through a day is something to be thankful for.

The overall picture of the world is too huge for anyone living. Don't think about it. Focus on yourself, on what you can influence. Your thoughts, skills, knowledge, environment and your time. It's easy to be sad, you don't have to do anything to do it. It is difficult to be happy, you need to find reasons for this every day. I'm sorry if I misunderstood something ❤️
