I’m reading this directly after a long day of social interactions with strangers. My social battery hit zero about two hours before the event was over and it still had two hours of talking to my kid(I love him to the bone, but I just can’t handle the nonstop talking when I’m this drained) and I got a surprise phone call from my family on top of all that

Safe to say I’m not gonna willingly talk to anyone for the next 24 hours. Just wanted to say I know the feeling and I hope you get the chance to decompress soon

The US really is becoming a third world country by the day, isn’t it. God I hate it here

Honestly at this point, even a low corruption government seems harder than balancing a boulder on a toothpick for the super powers of the world

I’d say just to pay attention to the information anyone is giving you. Keep what’s relevant and make good use of it. Learn from what isn’t relevant anymore and have a discussion about why it’s not relevant.

Our elders have so much experience. Even if some of it isn’t directly helpful to you, there’s still so much of the human experience that hasn’t ever and will never change. Things like relationships, survival, hope, struggle, addiction, passion, and so much more.
