Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom.

As the scar tissue begins to build up, I feel less and less vulnerable. I feel as if it won't all kill me. I just wish I had some sort of social life. Something to dissipate the stress of living in such a way.

But things will get worse. I'm not banking on this world for anything. Suffering is good for the incoming administration (a global one). Trouble is good for the chaotic people running everything. Often, they cause it.
