What am I supposed to believe about literally anything? It’s so FRUSTRATING. I’m gonna try to ignore that right now though. It’s soooo hard to not get angry over things I can’t change. I wish there wasn’t so much stupidity in my vicinity lately. It’s driving me positively bonkers! I’m sure you can tell by my lack of depth the past two posts. I literally didn’t have the mental bandwidth available to think about anything. My brain and body were basically pleading with me, begging on hands and knees for me to turn my brain off. The only way out of a situation is through. Or to die. And I don’t really want to die before my mom, so I just gotta get through this stuff for now. 

There are literally so many people going through hard times right now. Countless people’s lives are going haywire right now. I know there’s so much I don’t know, but one thing I do know is there’s a lot of pain out there in the world right now. Sometimes when I’m feeling pain (emotional), I kinda do wish the worst for people in the moment. Trying to stop doing that so much, but I am simply bursting with both love and hate. And sometimes they just be flying out of all of my orifices. Once I settle down, I usually am able to be more even keeled, but there’s a lot of times I simply go bananas. Those times do coincide with when I am going through a few tough things at a time. I’m really not one of gods strongest soldiers, I can handle a tough-ish battle, but I can’t keep going and going. I don’t have a lot of stamina. I can deal with one crisis pretty well, but once more stuff starts getting thrown at me, things can start to get a little out of control. I can ultimately handle it, but oftentimes it is extremely poorly. I’m not sure what the definition of “handling it” really is. I get through it, just like most people get through things. Most people don’t die everyday, so they be getting through it. 

To be honest, I got a little off track here. I was going to tie in not knowing things with what’s going on in the crypto world right now. I know that I don’t know enough about leverage to use it as a trading strategy. I probably wouldn’t use it even if I did. I’m generally pretty risk averse. Unless, of course, I’m not thinking straight. Then I’m quite risk tolerant. Crypto is just something I don’t know enough about to invest in. I definitely would never invest in shit coins, I don’t want to gamble in that way. Most things in love kind of come down to being a gamble though… do you agree?

    It seems like you’re craving certainty, but what you’re finding is that the world—from finance to feelings—is inherently uncertain. The real strength is in recognizing when you’re too tired to gamble and when you need to focus on what you can actually control: getting through this tough patch.

      I really appreciate your insight. You’re definitely right about my desire for certainty! One thing I am certain of is that you are correct: all I can control is getting through it.

    There is so much pain in the world right now and many people are going through hard times. And the stupidity is everywhere. We both know people whose job situation has changed and their lives are uprooted. It sounds like you are going through a few tough things and it pains me to think that. I wonder if you are referring to people who might have got rekt with the latest crypto movement. I have traded commodities with leverage but never crypto. With commodities it is how trading is done; with crypto it is not a trading strategy, it is gambling. Maybe I should write a story about my experiences with crypto. we’ll see.

    I kind of agree that most things in love do come down to being a gamble. Maybe someone’s risk tolerance influences their feelings toward someone else. IDK. Kinda makes sense. I mean it’s always a risk opening up to invite someone into your life. Maybe I should write a story about that, too. we’ll see. When you think about it, everything has a certain amount of ‘gamble’ attached to it.

      I’d love to read about your experiences. You have much more of it than I do in this area (and everywhere LOL)
