3 months agoGirl you got me tearing up. This is what I wanted for so long. Used to believe Christianity was what would give me that vision but when that fell apart, I didn’t know what to do. So I became even more nihilistic and depressed. But now you say we can be optimistic anyway? Girl, sign me up. I’m in. I want to try it. And I’m definitely signing up for your study club btw.
3 months agoAll we need is a leader. Truly. Someone who can inspire like Obama did.
3 months agoYes!!!!! Fortune favours the brave for a reason. I'd rather be living in a misery of my own making than accepting the one handed to me. And ironically when I am optimistically chasing everything I want and need with my entire being, no matter how hard and chaotic it gets, it is NEVER miserable. It may be relentless but in the way that makes you feel full, makes you feel whole. It is my aching back and feet at the end of the night and never ending to-do list the next morning and feeling the weight of both whilst brimming over with pride and joy. A life handmade by me, for me. What greater gift is there to behold?
3 months agoI thank you for this - I could not agree more!! 💃🔥🥰 have so many visions and ideas for the future and I align with so many people already working on them!! It’s so much fun to dream forward!
3 months agoThis really changed my perspective. Thank you. Pessimism is safe and keeps your hands clean. Damn, I hated reading that but I know it's true.
4 months agoI remind everyone I know we live in a “both and” era, you can feel disillusioned AND still take action pull every lever available to you Nobody wants to look like a fool, and in effort to not be hoodwinked adopt a heuristic of cynicism. But cynicism alone is not same as critique, it’s just a bias like any other
4 months agoThis is exactly what I'm up against! Working on building a movement to stop using money and make everything free. It's so completely possible, and closer than most people think. But we can't actually change things if everyone sees change as "too utopian" I know we've all had our hearts crushed by the system and that makes people scared to hope. But my god we have to pivot
