You need to have a community. You need to have meaningful values, not the junk values you’ve been pumped full of all your life, telling you happiness comes through money and buying objects. You need to have meaningful work. You need the natural world. You need to feel you are respected. You need a secure future. You need connections to all these things. You need to release any shame you might feel for having been mistreated.

Please forget who began

Once we were close,

You bothered to listen,

To ask,

And it wasn't just me reaching.

Once we could find balance,

And didn't have arguments.

I'm forgetting that more now,

That past is hurting me,

Causing pain when remembered,

Because I gave up on it returning.

You forgot to ask how I am,

Forgot that work is still work,

Whether it's done from home or not.

I don't think you ever knew that.

I see stories about joy,

People excited their friends sing again,

And try to feel that for myself;

I was happy enough to sign this week,

Fuck I was proud to be feeling better,

To be calm, happy enough to sing.

You complained, criticised, teased,

While demanding my help,

Demanding to be in my space,

Giving me little space to refuse.

So let's forget the people we began as,

Let's forget that connection was there,

Because it'll hurt less to forget,

To never remember you could try,

Never remember that there was balance.

Please forget who began,

You're the one who lost them.

Loneliness hangs over our culture today like a thick smog.

My workday is done. We’ve eaten dinner and washed up, and now I’ve got my book, my cat, my fuzzy blanket, and my pjs, and my husband is next to me on the couch, practicing guitar. I’m cozy ❤️

“The more you think life is about having stuff and superiority and showing it off, the more unhappy, and the more depressed and anxious, you will be.” - Johann Hari, 'Lost Connections'

[heavenswereabell]

I’m on a bus coming back from seeing a friend I haven’t seen in years. 2 hours each way, there and back. I have the music I listened to at 16 keeping me company and nothing else. You’d think after this time she’d be more excited to see me. And she keeps asking me to see her but what even for if it was like that? She barely remembered my favourite memories of us, barely remembered things she used to find hilarious. There were other things, and stuff she reminded me of, but it wasn’t how I thought. I’d forgotten we drifted apart before we lived far away, while we were still in the same school. I thought it was my fault, no one’s fault, a silly thing. She acts as though she’s outgrown me. I think I’ve outgrown staying friends with those who don’t give me anything in return.

The Place Others Dream

I wanted love so much

that I couldn’t hold any more,

wanted to be drenched until

I overflowed,

so saturated that if it went

I could still feel it.

I chased it feverishly,

peering around corners,

smiling through clenched teeth,

tightening my curls,

eating less,

all to attract that supple

sweet thing.

I wanted to be admired,

kissed until my knees

gave out,

needed it more than any craving

I’ve ever known;

It was you I sought,

your approval,

your affection.

Now I’m here,

in a place others dream of,

but what can I say?

Am I happy now that

I’ve achieved?

Are you happy,

or do you only see the

truth when it’s too late,

when you’re staring at

the same blank spot on the wall,

wondering if love will ever return?

Frustratingly near the mark without ever committing to its pursuit. Somehow, the term "capitalism" never actually occurs in the text - because, I suppose, that would be too political for this careful centrist, who writes half a chapter on the profound success of UBI before quickly conceding to the ignorant "Yeah, but it's so expensive" fallacy. Perhaps it's just the genre, but the anecdotes were too long and far too many: tiresome, and too often fatphobic for no reason. As a whole, it's just so close. At least the author concedes his privilege at the end, I guess?
