Not necessarily.

Treat yourself kindly. Help your inner child where the adults in your life failed them.

It’s scary and it sucks sometimes. You have to find a way to be on your own side and be there for yourself- to love yourself.

It can sound like “suck it up” but really it’s coming to reality with the situation and being good to yourself to guide you through it.

It’s not always easy. Not always fun. And it doesn’t always feel good, but learning to love yourself and use your own wisdom to get you through difficult situations is a valuable skill.

I like that line.

This planet fucking sucks. The institutions that are supposed to help and provide for us often don’t. We are all so divided based on religion or ideologies.

It’s okay to be mindful of the despair of it and all it’s meaningless, but be careful because it’s easy to lose yourself in that.

It’s a ridiculous and absurd place. You can either accept that and feel powerless, or learn to laugh along with the big joke that is life.

There’s a line in a song by AJJ that goes: “Welcome to this world have as much fun as you would like, while helping others have as much fun as you’re having”

And that’s basically the gist of it for me. This world isn’t perfect, but while you’re here try to have good time and make sure you can help others have a good time too.
