Then at 29 years you survive the global economic crisis that started with the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and famine.
Uh, that's not how you spell ruinous deflation. Probably was getting the Great Depression mixed up with Weimar Germany. And yes, the 20th century sucked in lots of ways.

i’ll admit i was thinking along the lines of the first part of that macro just two days ago, mainly in the context of like, mass suffering has been the norm for a lot of humanity for a long time and i am personally lucky to have basically evaded that. so far. it IS a brutal succession of crises but most of european history has been.

But humanity survived much more serious circumstances and never lost the joy of living.
All of humanity, huh? This is meaningless. But what it tries to suggest is a pure fantasy. Lots of people in past centuries (just like today) felt very little, or no, joy in living. Joy is intermittent and rather rare even in the best and happiest lives.

(I know why I hate it. It's being shared by friends who are mostly out-of-work actors, non-asshole middle-aged men with good hearts who are probably having a rough year, ones who are looking for some glimmer of fun and fulfillment and a way to socialize with booze, connect in a year or disconnection, and here they are caught up in this. And I don't want to be the one in the comments to make them feel ashamed for getting excited about something, and I imagine them recoiling into a deeper winter funk when it doesn't pan out.)

A relative invited me to join a facebook group called Cranky People United. Even though I haven't accepted the invitation, I have been treated to several of their hilarious memes, free of charge!

I think it's earnest, and as such an alarming indication that the ppl in this group might be younger than I'd otherwise have assumed.

i've probably seen more dawns than sunsets over the past year. fuck the night time, it's dark and cold. long live day time and the sun.
recently i re-followed a bunch of people on facebook that i unfollowed for reasons i forgot, and now i'm remembering why i unfollowed those people.
i really like spying on my 'suggested friends.' lately it's throwing up a lot of bear-type thotties because i was super shallow and friended this guy i don't know because of his insanely attractive face. (once i could see his profile i realized he is super boring lol).

Going to sleep before midnight is absolutely impossible for me, no matter how early I have to get up. These days I'm only working sporadically so 2/3am is the usual. Anything earlier feels like wasted time somehow
