#theyre still living in a blissful wonderland where one option is still good

[death-limes]

there’s no right answer. it’s not even “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” because what even is the “do?” there is no “do.” all of the options are some kind of “don’t.” there is no course of action that actually helps, and taking no course of action at all also actively causes harm. i thought 2016 was bad but this is just bleak. it doesn’t even matter what actually happens. anything that would actually be good news is only “~*~technically possible~*~” in the most laughably hopeless sense, like how winning the lottery and getting struck by lightning at the same time is “technically possible.” the fact that it’s even a hypothetical “possibility” just feels like a cosmic joke. the mirage of an oasis in the desert that you know isn’t real but goddamn it feels like it could be.

even the most cowardly instinct - to just run away - is difficult and complicated and not to mention expensive so even that requires its own kind of courage
