Toxic positivity, be damned, Herman Hesse reminds us that true optimism is not the denial of suffering. It is the will to perceive beauty amidst the suffering, and to conceive compassion despite suffering: “because the world is so full of death and horror I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell“

"We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing."

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry. - Nikita Gill

Feeling this very much today. Via poetryisnotaluxury on Instagram.
INSTEAD OF DEPRESSION try calling it hibernation. Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don't even dream. It's okay if you can't imagine spring. Sleep through the alarm of the world. Name your hopelessness a quiet hollow, a place you go to heal, a den you dug, Sweetheart, instead of a grave.

Sarah Cooper used to make me laugh out loud.

Now her comedy stings too sharp for even a chuckle.

Yet I recommend watching.

This is Blackjack. He was throwing a bit of a puppy tantrum. But just like a toddler, he immediately calmed down when his favorite show came on. 12/10

Affirmation Coyote approves this message.
To BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory. -- Howard Zinn

Stop demonizing riots.
Is a post by zelly reads, "Stop demonizing riots. Without riots you'd still be working 10 to 12 hours 6 days a week." Black culture response, "Stop demonizing riots". Quazi normalcy response, "the main contradiction of liberal democracy is that it has largely been shaped through a history of various forms of illegal civil disobedience against entrenched power structures. Such civil disobedience is retrospectively seen as justified and the people committing it are retrospectively seen as heroes, But each successive generation is asked to believe that any further civil their obedience would be unreasonable."

MY NORMAL IS FALLING APART BEFORE MY EYES. THESE ARE UNEASY TIMES WE'RE WALKING IN FOR SURE... BUT LET'S BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES: NORMAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FICKLE JERK. IT NEVER STAYS OR LASTS. SO LET'S MAKE THIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE NEW NORMALS. ONES THAT BETTER SERVE US.
