bet a month's rent anon doesn't exercise and their sleep is fucked. I was this doomy too, before I fixed my shit.
Making yourself feel good enough to ignore the shithole our society has become doesn't fix anything. Denying reality is foolish as fuck and actively makes it worse.
No, it’s really just “be the change you want to see.”

It's a good principle. If you go into that thinking you'll see a modicum of return on investment, you're gonna lose heart and just get more bitter.
You follow that thinking because it's who you want to be despite the world you live in. I wish it acted as a catalyst. It doesn't.
