As a person who thrives on distraction techniques, I don’t think the “start a hobby build a skill” is bad advice.

It’s error to say “so you can start a business” but the idea of building yourself in the mist of strife offers some sort of hope.
We build ourselves every day. That’s what’s happening. You go to bed full of new information. It’s easy to ignore bc it’s life as usual.
Survival mode is necessary duh for survival but baby doll live. Part of living is building. It doesn’t have to be groundbreaking or transformational but do something you like. Have a new experience in this wasteland.
I’ve been driving down streets I used to pass every day. I’ve found new parks, some great looking homes, and seen so many dogs. It’s a hobby it’s edifying and it’s adding to my experience bank.
I watch new shows on the streamers. It’s something.
This thread became a blog post but like forreal. Stay up do something for you. I’m going back to bed now that I’ve been really preachy like I’m not suffering 🙃
