Tiring times in the world right now. I am extremely mad at how Palestina gets covered here and how we are watching a genocide unfold while accepting everything the IDF puts forwards as true. I honestly think I can't get back to normal after seeing the shit that has happened in the past weeks. How can I ever act normal to people who are casually accepting genocide as the right thing to do?
But personally I feel like doing okay. I tackled some problems I had a while ago and so far things seem to go right. I'm even starting to make some sort of plan for the next few years about where I want to end up. The options I have in mind are somewhere along the Atlantic Ocean in Europe, a certain European island or somewhere more remote in a forest. But we're talking about between now and ten years. My job and my health are doing okay as well.
Even politics seem positive because according to the polls our party is now standing at 14% of the votes and the campaign hasn't even started. We're doing so well that other parties are now talking about excluding is from results lol.
I've been living on my savings for the past three years. I'm extremely privileged and not deserving of sympathy, but I lost the will to work during COVID and haven't been able to return to the workforce since. I've mostly used the time to pursue passions I wasn't able to while working, take care of my body/mind, and to educate myself. Otherwise I am doing fine. I'm glad that you feel like you are in a good place. Politically, I'm hopeful of the future while in despair of the present.
