The world is broken.
That much is stating the obvious, whether that is on a personal level focusing purely on the everyday relationships we maintain or not. Whether that is on the slightly broader spectrum of your surroundings/your place of living, your province/state, your country, the continent or even the world, problems are staring us in the eye at almost every turn with no obvious solution in sight.
The world is broken, and honestly, I'm struggling to believe it can be fixed. I'm struggling to keep my hope for my future, for the future of my generation, for the future of the communities I am a part of and the ones I'm not, and for the future of our species.
However, I refuse to believe the world is fucked.
I don't have some groundbreaking way to solve all the world's problems (sorry 'bout that ).
It's pretty easy to point out the wrongs of the world.I have no struggle recognising the so-called "flaws" in the "system."
It's easy to realise something is wrong; all you really have to do is listen to the people suffering from those flaws.
However, I struggle to find a solution.
How do you fix systemic problems in a way that pleases everyone?
I'd like to say that I believe all we can do to fix the world is make our environment a kinder place, but what do you do when that doesn't feel like enough?
How do you speak in a way that offers hope when you yourself are steadily losing what little you had to begin with?
How do you live without feeling an insurmountable guilt for not doing more? How do you live aware of a problem when you have nothing you can do to help?
That being said.
The most important thing a human can do is survive.That has to be something we as a species can agree on.
From there on, it's unique. Our idea of survival is unique, and many people are more informed than I am about particular subjects. And I'm glad about that.
Personally, my idea of surviving and thriving even lies in learning. There is little that brings me more joy than learning.
This is kind of my way of saying please survive. Begging even. If what makes life worth living is commonly viewed as silly, dumb, a waste of space, freaky, or cringeworthy, it is not. Unless it actively harms someone, it is not any of that. It is important purely because it keeps you alive.
I understand looking at the mountains of problems this world throws at us and feeling overwhelmed by it.
So this is me extending my hand towards the world.This is me sitting on my proverbial porch with a beverage made explicitly for you, saying, "I see you. And I'm here for whatever it might be you need" Feel free to contact me.
Now, you might wonder why I'm doing this? Because I genuinely care about the state of the world and the well-being of my fellow humans. And this is the only way I can see myself able to help the world, broken as it might be.
