Elucidating Questions

Spirit raging on in spite of the emptiness

One day, I made the choice to stop expecting happiness from this place

And I’ve been much happier since

Perhaps it was a requirement to continue living

I had to stop expecting happiness

That’s not to say I don’t find happiness I just have to look for it

Some “wise” internet person proposed

I do not chase, I attract

And I laughed

You’re not a black hole

You don’t attract anything. It just so happens things happen.

Do you see this place?

It’s pure madness here

Sometimes I look at the state of the planet and wonder what a curse this thing that makes us different than other animals is

Happiness is a fleeting moment of pure gratification

You don’t just get moments

You have to make them happen

Use whatever you have at your disposal

I like stars so I look up at stars and voila happy

But the stars aren’t going to come down to Earth to be seen

And they sure as hell aren’t coming in my house

I have to go look up at them

So go make happiness

Just make it

Pretend your brain isn’t chemically incapable of making and uptaking its own happy drug

And be happy

Yup just in spite of it

Be happy

You’re alone and no one loves you?

Hey at least you managed to be a human, apparently that’s pretty difficult, look at how few other human like things there are.

There are tonnes of fish

Spiders

Canids

Things with hooves

Okay there are other “apes” but, no, I mean human like

Not one

Apparently it’s not easy

And you managed

So like, stop

Stop listening to that voice in your head

Take your medications because you still need that shit even with a good attitude

Just look around this place

It’s magnificent

There’s so much to do here no one has done everything because the possibilities are endless

So like that’s cool

And daunting

But cool

And I know you’re lonely and you wish there was someone else

But no one needs you more than you do

Just…

Look I’m not suggesting you love yourself because that shit is difficult and even I can’t figure that out

But like tolerate yourself

Because you’re not as bad as Donald Trump!

Or the long list of leaders before him who also did nothing to help this planet

Just

I don’t know

Love this place

I’m talking about the universe and the planet

Just love them, they deserve it, they’re beautiful
