i just want to take a moment to remind everyone that when you’re feeling despair
it’s time to take a step back, go find something beautiful, and stare at it until you remember how much there is in this world that’s worth fighting for
“stare at it” is actually a poor choice of words.
beauty can be sound or taste or touch or smell, too.
it can be petrichor, or a song that makes you weep without knowing why. it can be biting into a fresh strawberry. it can be petting a cat with fur warmed by the sun.
beauty is everywhere.
I truly think that the current period is a time when folks can learn a lot of grounding techniques from anarchists. We've been forced to focus our deep existential despair since we've existed.
Granted, most of the folks I know who are best at that tend to not have online presences though lmfao
