I know the world is pretty crazy for all of us right now. Not a single nation on this great earth of ours is untouched by the chaos and division. I try to keep a positive look on things, but it is hard. I would be lying if I said I didn’t find myself becoming extremely jaded by the world around us.

But I think the more chaotic the world is getting the more I focus on the things that really matter to me. Being disabled I can’t really go out into the highways and byways. My body just wont allow me any more. So I do what I can from the computer. Writing and Sharing blogs to try and inspire even one single person to shake off the chains of apathy and try to help stem the dark tides that are threatening to engulf us all.

And then there are the activities that keep me grounded and sane. My comfort movies and TV Shows (Like the West Wing), Music and online gaming. Final Fantasy 11 and 14 have kept me connected to my friend group and engaged in something that still brings me joy.

And then I have made the decision to come back to Omg.lol and connect with this kick ass community Adam has built here. I know I said I would keep my political stuff to my non social.lol account and I am not breaking that rule. But its hard, if not impossible to remove the political climate we are all living under from all aspects of our lives. So when it does seep into my social.lol I will do my utmost to make it grounded in reality, but also with an emphasis on what we can do about whatever it may be. Where this is not possible, I will keep those things exclusively on the other mastodon. Unless enough people say fuck it do you right here we don’t mind. But out of respect of the type of community we are, I will try to keep it separated.

These things, paired with keeping in touch with family and friends are what keep me from drowning in the never ending deluge of rage inducing nonsense we all have to wade through every waking hour. What do you all do to stay positive and not let the bleakness dim your inner light?
