During my most depressive phase I lost all hope in the future and it did something magical that I didn't expect: Without a future there's only this moment and I've been coming to reognise that profoundly. Here is another one such little moment I had the opportunity to collect.
@sarble Thanks Peter. It's good to know most coins have two sides
@chuls this happened to me too and I love the happiness I find in the now, but I still have no clue how to plan anything ever. Did you abandon the future to its machinations or are you somehow able to appreciate the now and still have vague idea of a trajectory?
@anilmc I have found the last years incredibly destabilising and to a large extent I think planning too much is likely futile anyway. So I've found that I try to focus on the here and now without being unnecessarily reckless. I feel like instead of chasing my goals I start asking myself: What's the greater good here? And what leads to joy? And for now I kind of trust that maybe the path reveals itself that way.
