    Oh good! There’s a bizarro me out there that’s still capable of feeling feelings! Good for them!

      God, that’s a mood and a half.

      When my depression advanced, I was hopeful that not having feelings would mean not being sad anymore. I was disappointed, turns out feeling something is better than feeling nothing. Talk about a devil’s bargain.

      Good luck out there, stranger. Tomorrow’s another day

    I’m not such a pussy that I need to hide my emotions in the shower. I cry everywhere, openly. Fuck anyone who cares.

    Have a good cry at the bus stop. Have a good cry at the theater. Have a good cry at the coffee shop. Have a good cry while getting a tattoo. Have a good cry at the park. Have a good cry in your car (not while driving that’s dangerous). Have a good cry wherever the fuck you feel like.

    We’re all suffering out here, it’s time to stop feeling like we all have to hide it from one another.

        You can get away with it in London. Source: experience.

        You can cry on the tube and the bus, and the rule of “don’t make eye contact” means everyone just leaves you the heck alone and lets you get on with it it peace. I’ve twice cried while serving customers (after being bullied by a manager, two different jobs) and customers just try to get out of there. They might look at you a bit concerned but they mostly mind their own business.

          I have yet to muster up the courage to do that, i have recently cried at work, but managed to thankfully hide in a meeting room…

            Well, I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. I prefer to go somewhere private if I need a good cry, but when that’s not an option, if I gotta let it out, I’m gonna let it out. I care less about strangers seeing me cry than people I know.

      Even if it was the correct picture (and how can you be sure) the arrow is pointing to the wrong place.

        We can be sure because its impossible to get a photo of the entire milky way, but otherwise it seems accurate enough, pointing to an outer spur and having two satellite galaxies

          It’s true we can infer a lot of what it looks like from what we can see and using data from other galaxies. However that does often change. I’m not even sure which is the more current version right now, but here’s another version with four more pronounced arms. The same original arms are there, but the others are more dust and different star makeup than the first and could be more pronounced than once thought. There are also several different structural wave patterns rippling through the galaxy as it rotates.

    Life is a cycle. I am suffering today so i can afford to suffer tomorrow. Makes sense.

    Life is only worth living if you are a masochist.

    Nothing will change as long as we are piloting decaying, constantly hurting meat-bags trough a world of artificially created horrors like war, hunger, poverty and natural horrors like disease, aging and drought.

    Whenever you feel overwhelmed by life, lay down on your bed, close your eyes, and listen to this.
