I worry about money.
Ending up in a labor camp within the next 4 years
Have you considered moving to some civilized place?
Most of us are far too broke.
It takes a one way ticket and ask for political asylum. Or something. If you have proof of ancestry somewhere in Europe you can get citizenship.
My cancer returning.
Right now, climate change. This planet was a paradise and we ruined it for ourselves. I don’t think we have very long before ecosystems just start breaking down in massive ways.
Rent is due in 27 days.
Job, lack of relationship/connection, climate, existing in a semi burnout state.
Not finding anyone to replace my ex in my heart. Someone not finding her and giving her the life we dreamed about.
She can’t be replaced
I know, I’m just unsure how to move on lifewise guiltwise lovewise
Have you grieved?
Yes, for about a year. I’m grieving still.
Do you have a lot of unresolved feelings? Did you get some sort of closure?
Feelings: I can’t shake away the thought that I’ve hurt her deeply. I mourn for the children we wanted to have. The house and the garden I promised. The stolen fertile years of her life. I hurt someone whose only crime was not quite being able to share the same headspace as me. I felt lonely in the relationship due to the language and the alien culture, but since I’ve been alone and moved back to my home country I’ve realised that I tend to just generally live in my head, regardless of language or company.
I feel that my loneliness problem wasn’t coming from her somewhat difficulty in hearing me, but in my difficulty sharing aspects of myself with others. I feel that I’ve ruined my life, and that’s okay, completely self-inflicted… but I can’t live with the idea that I’ve ruined hers too. The thought and the guilt buries me every night.
Closure: we’ve said goodbye a thousand times, and have talked about the above themes, but I can’t shake away the memories I have with her.
Sounds like a many incomplete closures? So you keep talking with each other or where are you now?
Climate change and all of the bullshit it will bring before it kills enough humans to start fixing the issue.
I worry that we’ll only get it fixed once the human population falls to some horrifically low number.
That’s the only way climate change will ever be addressed in any way that matters
That is the fix
Being unceremoniously fired and homeless.
Not having enough money when I’m old. I don’t have children or close family so I worry about what’s going to happen to me when I’m older.
- Economic collapse
- Being too anxious to work
- Fascism
- Unexpected death
- Singularity
Death.
Not mine, but my parents are aging, and my chickens have a short life span compared to some animals. So I know damn good and well I’m losing someone or something I care a great deal about, and almost certainly in the next decade if not sooner.
Also have a damn chipped tooth and my damn dentist has been on vacation since before Christmas. Wouldn’t be a worry, but the damn thing irritates my tongue.
Mum. Since dad passed away early on 2024 I’ve been doing my best to care for her, but there’s only so much I can do.
There’s no simple explanation, no simple solution. I do what I can, putting both love and logic into every decision, but I am still worried about the future she has.
Fascism & climate collapse.
I often get stuck in a frustrating loop of thought when I ponder the point of all of this.
