Been high nonstop for years. I realize it’s bad for my health. But at least being high feels good.
My future is on a planet becoming increasingly unhabitable, under a government becoming increasingly fascist, doing nothing but working and still not being able to afford rent or food, never traveling, never making real friends much less finding a life partner, water quickly becoming a luxury, and with zero chance of ever retiring.
So why even bother?
Get a better job and out of the city.
One should always be drunk, that’s all that matters.
So as not to feel time’s horrible burden
That breaks your shoulders and bows you down
You must get drunk without ceasing.
But what with?
With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose.
But get drunk
“Be Drunk” by Charles Baudelaire, as interpreted by Liam Clancy

Well that’s what I thought when I was young but now I’m old and my life is fucked and the bastards still haven’t killed us all yet.
I’m not saying dont smoking weed or anything but when you’re planning your life it is important to remember the future will probably happen
Anxiety at the prospect of all those things AND being cold, hungry and homeless at the same time. Works a treat.

Join Politics.
Win people’s support. Voice your concerns, if they are widely realised you will definately make a difference for people you care for.
That’s a doomer by definition.
Society will collapse, and I hope finally Capitalism will end, I hope then we will start enjoying of just living the life without believing you need more stuff to be happy. Just enjoy the time alone or with company doing nothing and chill. And 4 hours a day to fix your home or garden/plants. Life is pretty simple.
Societal collapse wouldn’t be a return to a simpler life. There are too many of us and we are far too urbanized. Check out Haiti for an example of what societal collapse looks like.
You define your own meaning of life. Whether you are Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jew, or whatever, that is still true. If you want to be high literally all the time, go nuts and have fun with it - but please note, it sounds like you don’t, not really?
Consider possibly joining a support group, to help you through working that all out, by hearing stories of others who are further ahead on that path than you? Plus you may be surprised that you could be further ahead along it than you thought.
And yeah the world really does seem fucked, but so what? Don’t use that as an excuse to give up, if you would rather have more fun standing up on your own two feet. The world may burn (and freeze, and more likely alternate rapidly between both extremes), but you still get to decide what you want to do about it!:-P
Maybe watch the movie Braveheart, as William Wallace (Mel Gibson) gets eviscerated at the end, knowing full well that he could have chosen to avoid it, but instead choosing to value his pride… and freedom. We all die, every single person who has ever lived has died up until now (barring weird freak events like someone time-traveling from the past beyond us into the future:-P), but you get to choose how you want to LIVE.
join an organization by volunteering in soup kitchens or something similar. educate yourself and radicalize others while building a mutual aid network, so that you will have comrades in case you ever end up in need. and even if you dont succeed you can at least say that you are helping others.
*all of which can be done while high…
You could have been alive during the actual ice age. Or a hundred years ago when fascism was literally worse. Or an indentured slave to the British empire having your kids eaten by cannibals because you didn’t make your rubber picking quota. Or in about 80% of the world today that has things worse.
The glass can be half full or half empty.
If you live your life focused on what you don’t have, it devalues the things you do have. If you look at your life as one of abundance (and compared to 99.9% of human lives in all of history, it very much is), you’ll have a life filled with value.
One of the few proven techniques to improve happiness is to end each day writing down three things you are grateful for that day.
All that said, yeah of course everyone is fucked and there’s high odds things will only get worse from here.
Which means today is one of the best days of the rest of your life. 🎉🪩🕺
Enjoy it while it lasts?

WTF are you referring to here? I mean I’m guessing that you’re referring to a historical event, rather than making shit up?
Technically Belgian and not British though.
You just do it.
Bro you need therapy
Environment decay (aka climate change) is gonna force all of us into pockets of extremism where we start killing each other. unless you’re the brave bastard doing a one man miracle decapitation strike that changes the system, Start building community now, lest you be caught alone when the flood comes to your valley on earth.
