I have no idea how to use the LiveJournal app

[fordanglia]

Does anybody else feel like they’re just waiting for things to get worse? I used to wonder what my life would be like twenty years in the future, and I was super optimistic. Now I just dread it. I can’t see what else there is to gain, only that there’s grief ahead. The future terrifies me. Right now I have my cats and my mother and my job and I’m

I still get email notifications from LJ and it's still exciting getting a new post notification, even though they've become such a relic now

It's weird, when I followed you way way way back in the days of yore of HP fandom I thought you were younger than me by a few yours (although often wrote better than I could) but turns out you're only a year younger! I'm 34.

Anyway, hi again. I think the malaise could just be from the ..everything of it. The pandemic entering its third year soon. THIRD. Who thought that would happen when we holed up in 2020? It's not easy. Add to that all the political bs (wherever you are, no place is perfect in that regard) and global warming and instability anxieties of all sorts (personal, global) and you got a real stew of stuff to think about.

It can be hard to put that all aside and just focus on your own life, and maybe even find some joys in it. I've been doing my best, including just ignoring the news for a few days at a time.

This is phenomenal because I always thought you were a few years older than me! Go us! I wish I still wrote as much as I used to - now I tweet nonsensical one-liners with no depth.

You’re right, three years of this nonsense alongside everything political (I’m in Canada, so messy for its own reasons), is a lot. It’s like everything that was irritating and going to happen anyway is now conjoined with a pandemic. Things would be tough enough without it. I like the idea of unplugging for a few days, as I’ve definitely been prone to bouts of obsessive news checking. It’s stressful!
