  • The same bad actors have muddied the lines through limiting online discourse and pushing their message consistently enough to drag some well meaning, but lacking in critical thinking skills, people to join the cause.

    Like algorithms for social media, they’ll feed you little bits that become normalized, and sudde ly the stuff that was crazy 5 years ago seems tame and pointless to fight against now.














  • Work something outside your normal skillset as a stopgap measure. Maybe you’ll find a new passion. The world just changed around you, don’t assume that the time and skills you’ve developed so far will continue to pay off. Sunken cost fallacy. Find a new niche, make yourself good at it. Gig work, odd jobs, keep a goal in mind and work towards it.

    It can very easily overwhelm you, so try to think of how proud someone that loves you will be when you pull yourself out of it. Believe that they want to be there for you, to help you, regardless of if you’re proud of those decisions or not. I don’t care about embarrassment or ego, I care about having those I love actively in my life.

    Talk to people, don’t let your sadness fester. It’s ok to cry, but don’t let it be all you do.

    Live today, not in the past of your relationship or the future you once dreamed up. Live today with today’s challenges and make a new plan for tomorrow.

    I hope you’ll be ok. There’s love out there, I hope you can feel a tiny bit of it from this internet stranger. Please let me know when (not if) things turn and start looking better.
