Wintering is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and to commit to healing them the best we can. Wintering is a moment of intuition, our true needs felt keenly as a knife.
-- Katherine May (Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times)

Apparently Facebook doesn't know what to do when you upload a GIF that is not animated -- just a single image.
Animation wasn't even added until GIF89a! The main Discord channel I haunt also disallows GIFs wholesale -- to avoid animated GIFs any *.GIF file is trashed.
Is this what the human race has come to?
Those that suffer from #loneliness feel even more depressed after using the likes of #ChatGPT, according to a new study. It doesn't surprise me though... https://mindsconnected.tech/index.php?showtopic=1077&view=getnewpost #ai #aichatbot #chatbot #openai #mit #sadness #feelings #emotions #dependency #research #psychology #tech
Double hit of #sadness:
Had a casual chat with my landlord to give notice, tell him about the furniture I'm leaving and a few items that will need fixed after I #move
He's always come when I asked for help, even non-landlord stuff #thankful
Then right after that I watched my darling pickup truck drive away to be parked with a sale sign. It has faithfully carried me everywhere for the past 25 years and I love it. I wanted to keep it as a project but I need every little bit of money to move
A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.
When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!
Its FOT - fear of thinking.
You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.
#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.
Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

Interesting therapy session this morning.
Most of what I seem to feel these days is sadness. A sadness fed by all my experiences in live up to now. Sadness and emotions that I never processed and just put away.
This morning I shared my therapy plan. Written and told mostly from that feeling of sadness.
Color me surprised when people told me they sensed a lot of anger.
Seems I've been hiding that anger even deeper then my sadness.
[2/4] a deep hatred. This is a feeling that was unknown to me until recently. As I said, I am a rational person, who first and foremost sees the good in things. I have now lost that #innocence perhaps forever. I can live with my feelings of fear, #sadness and anger. But I will not tolerate #hate.
Today I’m feeling especially sad, so here’s a photo of Earl resting in the sun for those feeling the same.
(I keep swirling around, moving from sorrow to rage to loathe. The cycle is exhausting. At least if we know we’re in this together, it feels less lonely.)
“There is nowhere Death will not go, no matter how distant and dangerous. In fact the more dangerous it is, the more likely he is to be there already.”
