How To Even…Not Lose Hope
By Michael Gushue & CL Bledsoe
Hey. Hey, there. Hey, how are you, buddy? Howyadoin’? Rough day, huh? Seems like they’re all rough days, these days, right? Haha. Yeah, it sure does. Doesn’t really seem like there’s much hope of it getting better for a long while, huh? Hey, hey, wait — put that noose down. Those things chafe like the Dickens.
Sometimes, it’s nearly impossible not to lose hope. There is so much wrong with the world, which sucks, because things could be so much better if we just changed a few tiny, itty-bitty, major, foundational things. But a handful of people don’t want to change those things because they’re greedy pieces of shit, and a whole bunch of other people support the greedy pieces of shit because they’re gullible. (Sorry, sorry, something something philosophical differences born of privilege something.) That leaves us, stuck in the middle, trying not to die.
The idea is that, if we can just get through this particular horribleness we’re facing today, there will be better times ahead. We just have to keep hope. But hope is tough to hold onto. So what can you do? Read our blog, of course! We’ve got some tips for keeping on keeping on.
