If you’re content I don’t think anything really has to change. Keep enjoying life my friend.

Now everybody’s down at McDonalds, they’re down with Ronald McDonald, and now they’re hitting the bottle and everybody cool.

It’s normal to a degree, but when you’re rapidly transitioning from one state to the next it can be very uncomfortable.

Maybe. It depends on the situation. If I’m feeling anxious to the point where it is hindering my ability to enjoy existing then I use that as the trigger to take action. First step for me is usually identifying the source of my anxiety. Sometimes this is easy, but sometimes this is the most difficult part. I do this by using a combination of thinking and movement. Am I sitting at my desk? Maybe I should get up and stretch. Am I pacing back and forth? Maybe I should sit and start writing my feelings/thoughts down.

Once I’ve identified the source of my anxiety I use the knowledge and experience I’ve accumulated up to this point to determine a strategy for dealing with the source of my anxiety.

For example: I might be feeling anxious on a Saturday night because I’m home alone watching anime and I feel like I’m wasting my life. If I truly believe my anxiety arises from a feeling of not doing or engaging with anything in a meaningful way, then that gives me a direction to move in. What’s something I can do that feels meaningful? Maybe the answer is to call my brother, or leave my apartment and take a walk, or read a book. The answer can be whatever “feels” right. And if nothing feels right then I dig a layer deeper and repeat the process.

This too shall pass. Try to enjoy the process of transitioning from one rhythm to the next.

You can’t observe nothing because observation requires an observer, if there is an observer by definition there’s not nothing.

Well, yeah. Everyone is similar to Guts in some way. Heroes in fiction/myth serve as fantastical allegories for the growth and development that everyone has the opportunity to experience. I think Berserk is especially relatable for anyone who has gone through some sort of religious trauma, has had a friend group that has fallen apart, or just struggles with mental health in general.

You’re correct.

Also, cars became pointless after they removed distributors.

Honesty can “break” the cycle. I believe that was supposed to be the lesson people learned from Groundhog Day or any other piece of media with a time loop element.

If you trust that students are mature enough to read the Bible then you trust that they’re mature enough to read ANYTHING.

Hold on to “what if?”

You could always try to do something and fail at it, then spiral deeper into depression.
