No, I don't believe that anymore.
Seriously perhaps I am too old but I have now been around like 18 of these "movements" where I think things are going to change... and they just don't. Laws get written and then... they get ignored. They are on the books to provide cover but quietly ... in the back ground, corrupt people change the rules.
I used to use like one bright light to motivate me. The belief I was going to make a difference in the world or the belief I was going to find a great guy or the belief I was going to find a great place to live. But the big dreams keep being taken away by reality and the smaller dreams are less able to motivate me.
Hobbies do bring me joy but for some reason I can't seem to do them. I just don't have the time to get them done really?
Movies really suck lately. What is also weird is that movies don't stick around in the theater? I mean like I wanted to see "game night" but for some reason after week one it only plays at 9 PM. Err... nope.
Travel used to bring me joy but it doesn't anymore. I think I have been everyplace I want to go. Then... I just can't spend $500 on a trip. That is a dishwasher.
The rest really doesn't interest me.
I feel like I am grasping at straws though.. instead of the big clouds that used to sustain me. I have a good 40 years left...how am I going to get by?
