    Sometimes it’s alarming how much my body needs coffee to come “online” in the mornings. I’m ready to tone it down. Back to a single shot and trying to get more movement in.

    Neck pains flaring up again - thankfully I have another massage booked in for this afternoon! Tomorrow I have an important coffee catchup, Monday my final psychiatrist sesh, Tuesday is the “big chat” with the boss + 2 other senior staff. Depending on how things go I might just write up my resignation letter this weekend, on hand for Tuesday if discussions break down. I know it’s stupid to do that without another job in hand but honestly I just need it all to slow the fuck down and if that’s not achievable i need it to stop. I have no loans, no mortgages, no dependents, I might as well make the most of that situation.

      not to get too morbid, but we’re slowly rotting lumps of flesh thats somehow learned to think in a world slowly knowingly killing itself in the name of profits that we all know dont really matter anyway under the control of the rich and powerful who dont give a fuck about freedom or quality of life.

      So long as you’re not doing Ice, I’d say allow yourself whatever vice you need to get fired up to find meaning in your day.

        Between this comment and the brains/chemicals comment over on the r/ DT, I think I need to sit somewhere quietly for a little bit.

        But absolutely no hate for this, it just hits home.

        except coke. buying coke kills lots of people. Just being a small part of the market means your part of the problem. unpopular opinion i know, but it’s much worse than people think. some of my best friends hate me a little bit for having this opinion but it’s true.
