“it do be like that sometimes” is starting to lose it’s magic a little
From one of Patton Oswald’s stand up specials, he shares his late wife’s mantra, as a devout atheist: “It’s chaos. Be kind.” Nothing means anything, nothing happens for a reason, things just happen, they only have the meaning we bring to them, be kind.
“it’s not the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.”
And even if it turns out to be, we’ll only really know in hindsight.
This is probably a toxic one I learned from my teachers that time I tried learning Korean:
If it feels like you’re drowning it’s cause you haven’t died yet.
The whole book of Ecclesiastes
Don’t know if it counts, but I often think about
when I face difficult situations.I say “fuck this” or “fuck that” or “fuck it all” or “fuck everything” pretty often. I guess that?
Tomorrow will be better; even if it’s just not today.
Just the fuckin way she goes boys

So we were all gonna have a good time and get drunk but now all the money’s gone into the VLTs so there’s no drinkin or gettin drunk or nothing is … how she goes, apparently
When I was young life was pure chaos. It was a constant battle and I often looked for things that would ground me and let my mind rest for a bit. I discovered the Peter Gabriel song Washing of the Water. I really liked how he sang it and so I memorized the words. They are good and when its a very dark time for me, the words are a great way for me to gain a little mental peace.
The whole song is beautiful. The perfect balance of wanting calm in hard times and finding peace in the nature of things https://piped.video/watch?v=Ic4N6rT6Qks
“it doesn’t really matter” keeps me going
That’s a great platinum blonde single.
Living in the “self esteem” part of Maslow’s pirimid when you are battling basic needs aka allergies, sleep, dehydration, dimentia, etc is a good way to be depressed. Focus on preservation of assets and restoring basic functions.

“Tough times never last, only tough people last. *alien translation*” youtube
“One day at a time. One hour at a time. Let’s just get through this one little task.”
*shrug shoulders*
Eh…I don’t have the vocabulary for a good mantra like most of you. But a shoulder shrug and a “what are you gonna do about it” kind of noise is enough for me.
