    I, like most of us on Lemmy, live a better life than almost the entirety of the rest of human history.

    Life is full of wonders and joy and there’s so much more to enjoy!

      Gratitude is essential to happiness, studies show and also just duh.

      And there really is good reason for it - e.g. all the literal wars fought in the past so that we could have such wonders as we do.

      Happiness isn’t entirely just a choice, but it is partially one. 💞

      Oh, and also chocolate, definitely chocolate.

      I, like most of us on Lemmy, live a better life than almost the entirety of the rest of human history.

      I’m sorry, I’m sorry, the world and by extension you have been so kind to me and I turned out to be just this worthless waste of oxygen, my existence a net negative of epic proportions and yet I’m too cowardly to at least end this miserable experiment.

      Life is full of wonders and joy and there’s so much more to enjoy!

      Life is full of putting on a face and smiling and playing a well-adjusted individual and I’m so tired.

      Welcome to depression-ville, population way too fucking many.

      This is how I like to think about it. There’s so many cool things I haven’t gotten to experience, both natural and man-made. Giving up would mean I never get to see them and appreciate them.
