Sheer fucking will? A night of sleep? LSD? I dunno.

Coffee.
Not that I’m drinking any at night.
That would be bad.
Fear of death
Basically nothing. But like I'm gonna die eventually, why try to rush to the finish line?
My continued existence pisses off fascists.
I'm vegan, non-binary (with dyed hair), car-free, a member of a linguistic minority, poor, and many other things that make conservatives think the world would be better off without me. I strive to survive mostly to spite these fuckers.
You’re beautiful! You have every right to be here! Show those fascists indifference and live your life to the fullest!

My lucid dreams are unspeakably realistic, comprehensively and indistinguishable from reality. It's like waking up each night into a horrible dystopia.
In my nightmares, there's a global autocracy, a kind of maximalism of pain which forces people into mass slavery, but it's not even according to their whims, it's simply a price for existing.
I'd go on but it's too spooky and sad.
The rest of the time life's pretty good.
Caffeine these days.
A lack of alternatives. The only option is to get up and go to work.
Whenever I habe to ask myself that question I remind myself I'm doing the best I can considering the circumstances of my upbringing. And that I already did a lot of good even though it often damaged myself.
Metabolism mostly. Kinda glommed into a listlessness of not knowing what I'm doing with my life in a professional sense.
Nicotine, pain killers, a laughable disability payment...
...and a furious, blinding rage at the inequity of modern terminal stage capitalism that has doomed our planet to ecocide and most of its inhabitants into petty, self-centered, egotistical and ignorant caricatures of human beings...
...which has mostly congealed and calcified into some kind of mixture of contempt and spite that is either the basis of, or what I can erroneously yet convincingly present to myself and others as the basis of my identity, self-worth and sense of humor, concluding that merely surviving as long as I can, and pursuing that which I enjoy which requires next to 0 monetary expenditure, is the meek and feeble yet largest middle finger I can personally raise toward all who pursue wealth accumulation, or enable those who do.
Spite of all the people who want me dead or want to see me fail
I'm not even being sarcastic
Life can be rough but by all measures I have a good one.
Zooming out and realizing the value of what I have is important, even when I'm dealing with mental health, dying loved ones, finances, etc.
I really like learning things and every day I'm here, I have the opportunity to learn more.
I guess I don't have anything better to do?
Waiting for the day we finally and collectively eat the rich.

On any other day:
When a new chapter gets released:
Providing for my family.
The self-destructive voice is a liar. We do not listen to them.

Death being the most boring shit I can possibly imagine is pretty high on the list.
You're looking at it.
I, like most of us on Lemmy, live a better life than almost the entirety of the rest of human history.
Life is full of wonders and joy and there's so much more to enjoy!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the world and by extension you have been so kind to me and I turned out to be just this worthless waste of oxygen, my existence a net negative of epic proportions and yet I'm too cowardly to at least end this miserable experiment.

Life is full of putting on a face and smiling and playing a well-adjusted individual and I'm so tired.
Welcome to depression-ville, population way too fucking many.
Gratitude is essential to happiness, studies show and also just duh.
And there really is good reason for it - e.g. all the literal wars fought in the past so that we could have such wonders as we do.
Happiness isn't entirely just a choice, but it is partially one. 💞
Oh, and also chocolate, definitely chocolate.

Legs.
My wife. I love spending time with her. She's my whole world.
Curious what I might see next.
