How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Waves]

Yeah I hear you, but this is the "glass half empty" perspective. What about art, music, literature, science and philosophy? The world is full of beauty and wonder, animals and plants and stars. What about all the people who volunteer their time to provide kindness to others - I just learned that in my community there's a nonprofit organization that provides free meals, housekeeping and medical transportation to low-income seniors. Completely free. The same organization has a food bank, mental health support groups and many other services. Good things and people are out there.

Cool organization. How are they funded?

Lol it's not always men, I text a lot but I have a female friend who manages to reply about once every few months, she always has about 100 unreads on her WhatsApp at any given moment! Probably different in dating etc, which I don't bother with these days 😮‍💨

I know I don't and can't do much good at texting. I tried doing it but I text like I talk slow and drawling with anything I send looking like DNA codes or something. Someone told me to send a simple word like bad, press 2 twice, then once and then 3. My texting the word bad came out as aaad. LOL.

ikr!!! A house near me is already in full swing with illuminated inflated snowmen and reindeer and just 2 posts above a Christmas craft fair was mentioned! It seems only yesterday it was summer. I don't know how Americans also deal with Thanksgiving! 😂 Halloween and Christmas/New Year are enough to deal with Oct-Dec!

Now its deepavali i love my neigbour deco😺

We kill slaughter billions of animals every year. They live short lives of pain and desperation. If there are devils, they are us. Everything living thing on the planet would ultimately be better off if we were gone. I have never been team-human. #vegan

Again though, you are only looking at the negative. Nature is cruel also and our pets would not be better off without us. There are also many people fighting for animal rights, to save animals and for humane treatment. A woman in my writing group is a veterinarian who does random food-industry inspections of animal welfare here in Canada. She said there are literally thousands of scientists and government workers trying to ensure decent treatment of food animals - not just their physical health but mental health. She said most of the farmers care about the well being of the animals as well. Of course if you are only looking at PETA sites, you will only hear the negatives and not believe me. And yes at the end of the day the animals are killed for consumption. Most people grow up eating meat and there are good scientific arguments on both sides for whether humans should eat meat or only plant-based foods. I would prefer if everyone were vegetarian but am struggling with that myself right now due to digestive issues with plant-based foods. Ironically one thing that doesn't bother my stomach is poultry but I only buy from local farms where I see the chickens and turkeys roaming around so I know they are treated okay. They are not living in pain or desperation. And if they weren't living on a farm they could easily die a terrifying death being eaten by a cougar or wolf.

I am still mostly vegetarian myself, and was fully vegetarian for 12 years. There are many shades of grey to the situation but I doubt you will even hear me on this so I'm wasting my breath. I have several PETA-card-carrying vegans in my own family so I know the drill.

You are of course entitled to your view but most humans are not monsters. I'm sure even you would agree that vegans are not monsters. And guess what? Many humans are vegan. Believe what you want but if your negative view of humanity affects your mood (and really how could it not?) then maybe let a bit of compassion for your fellow humans enter your heart.

Donations, including the United Way. Also possibly some government funding, I'm not sure.

I feel I should be on IV forever. The fact my heart rate returns back to higher than normal when I'm released disappoint me. My movement is restricted and I'm banned from exercises I love doing, I can only walk and thats boring.. Welp you're gonna see me colors more I guess while my doctor grounded me. Nobody is happy when they see my doctors letter, protectiveness is on and I'm still be on fall precaution after discharge as if telling me "I'm still in danger" 🫠

Lifes short.

Sorry to hear it Kitty. I hope your health can progress to the point you can do what exercises you want.

Like I don't want to live on this fckn planet anymore. Can I fly away, taking the music with me?

I hear you. And hope you don't chose to go before your time. Yes, on all-fronts to the music & how it's such a powerful elixir!

still tryna understand why this heart condition thing is a serious thing🥺

 

[HappyKitty]

Every morning shoots up 120-140+/ min at resting. And I just continue slow movements till it goes down to at least 110+/min. I am so scared to go to my next cardiac apt, I wouldnt want to be hospitalised again.

LOL my parents blood pressure is slightly high, and they have healthier heart rate than mine. Idk anymore. 💀

 

[Bolushi]

I'm feeling miserable (don't care to detail why right now) and I would like to die but I won't leave my dog hanging so I have to endure life for the next 6 odd years. That is how it has been for me the past few months.

I am a vegan/abolitionist in the tradition of Jane Goodall.

I'm Ok, I did 3 hours of work yesterday and I was so done, but it was plenty for a Sunday! I've actually slept decent for a couple of nights. Currently in a good mood but it can crash if fatigue catches up with me later in the day so I'll try not to overdo it today!

I found someone's dumb phone in my office building once. I thought I'd text one of the contacts to see whose phone it was, but with it being a dumbphone I had to text using the number pad (rather than the handy keyboard that smartphones are equipped with!), in the end I gave up and called as I'd totally forgotten how to text using a number pad 😂

Sorry to hear that you've been suffering so much @Bolushi. But glad you have your dog for comfort. You have us here too.
