Isn’t it weird how

When it feels like life won’t ever continue on

It still does

Here’s me saying something about this summer:

Life isn’t always happy. But life can be an experience to be grateful for.

Now I didn’t expect this summer to be what it was. It had amazing ups and great chill times where maybe I could be happier, but I was still happy nonetheless. Then there were the downs.

Some of them were your usual downs, you know, just those times your head kept you in the dumps. Still, there were the really bad ones.

I had three really bad downs I can think of, but I’ll tell you something: I don’t wish I didn’t have them. Why?

These downs got me to think. Reflect. Learn.

One of them could hardly be called a down. It was simply a time where once it ended, I just wondered what the * just happened. I was so confused I just cussed a bit.

The one that was maybe the worst was the most important. It set in motion some things that needed to happen, but also highlighted a problem in me that I needed to work on. And that is my… reaction to being confused in ambiguous situations. Bad reaction. So I gotta figure out what I gotta do to fix it up. But now I’m aware of it, so I can do that.

Anyways, I just wanted to share this with you so that you guys can take a new perspective on bad situations; sometimes they’re there so you can learn something. And the best place to work it out is with supportive people. As always, an outside view might notice something that’ll help you.

Thanks to you all who read this far. I hope that you guys can take a new perspective on bad experiences like I did this summer.

This is about a wide variety of situations.

When you act like the worst experiences are universal or even merely typical, you hurt people. You trivialize what happened to the people whose experiences were among the worst. As if there was nothing unusual and they don’t need any special care to deal with it, from self or others. You cut the confidence of others, making them think that they will, or will likely, go through the same thing and they won’t be able to cope. This increases the chance that they actually won’t be able to cope if something bad happens, even if it’s at a level they otherwise could have, because they no longer believe they can. You make people believe that reducing their chances of bad outcomes is futile, and they don’t try. You create an environment of hostility and backlash against the ones who look for damage-reduction strategies nonetheless and claim that there are, in fact, ways to protect yourself and they’re useful even if they’re not guaranteed to work.

This is bad. Don’t do this. Do your best to be accurate and honest, even if you score fewer cheap points in whatever short-term game you’re playing. Accuracy to your best ability doesn’t mean a coverup - it means telling the truth. It also means a good-faith effort to learn the truth and spot where people are mistakenly or dishonestly giving wrong information, in either direction. People need to know the real chances of whatever you’re talking about, their personal risk factors that could make their own chances higher or lower, and how to add protective factors. This helps efforts at a solution focus their resources on the right things to find solutions that actually work. It helps people who are very concerned about the bad thing take partial control and feel the amount of fear proportionate to their situation, not greater than proportionate. Too much fear is counterproductive, proportionate fear guides actions to minimize risk without excessively limiting other life activities.

Everyday I hear the same thing, that we need to be active against what is happening in the world, to fight for others and help them whenever we can.

And it breaks my heart to see so many people in need and no way to help them even a little bit.

Oh you need money to get food or just a small donation, i would give you whatever i had if i wasnt almost in the same situation, do i give my money and be without food, water and whatever im already spending the little i get

Or do just stare at you because both of us are in need even in a different way. Fortunately i can go and do some volunteering but still, i wish i could help even more

1 Samuel 23:27-28 Protection In A Strange Way

But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!” Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they call that place the Rock of Escape. 1 Samuel 23:27-28 Situations often arise in which there appears to be no way out, that look hopeless. People will often give up in despair not having any hope of rescue from a…
