What is the reason you don’t have your own peace of mind?

[mayaJames]

Are you having fun or doing this thing to survive?

Sorry about that

I believe that in life, there will never be true "peace of mind." We will feel a vast amount of emotions until the day that we cease to exist.

But if you mean that as a way of asking why I don't feel peace for the most part then I'd tell you that I actually do. And it's because of alone time. I notice that if I was constantly around people, they would stress me out by putting far too much meaning into things I don't care about. Many people are dramatic. I prefer to be alone.

Last year I was living with a narcissist, and lost almost everything I own because those people take everything from you. All I have left is this laptop and a few clothes.

Since I pretty much have nothing, I was thinking of publishing one of my novels, maybe my book series. I've written 4 books so far, but always been afraid to publish anything because my family said I would never be anything.

I know it's a good series. I love the story, the characters, and they are the best books I've ever written. If I had the resources and the courage to publish, I was thinking of getting it out there. My characters always had trouble with obstacles, standing up for themselves, and fears, and they all die, and are told they have to return to earth to learn how to face their fears. Probably no one would be interested in reading my book though, so there's my self-esteem issues too.

Money.

If I had 2x my net income (aka if billionaires and corporations were taxed at individual rates and vice versa), it would instantly give me what I need to achieve peace of mind.

If I had 4x my net income (aka if billionaire excess was redistributed, rich were taxed at a fair rate, and companies mandated to outpace inflation on wages), I could extend that peace of mind to at least three of my friends. Possibly four or five.

Capitalism is what is causing much of my lack of peace of mind. It's a bit hard to be truly at peace when my breathing is impacted by wildfire smoke due to increasing temperatures, my water supply is threatened by Nestle, and food costs are skyrocketing due to corporate greed. All of those can be solved by abolishing capitalism.

[Inbox]

…. Totally, we should take from those that work their butts off and give it to those who don’t work or don’t want to work as hard. Please tell me you’re not seeking to replace capitalism with socialism.

[Red-Blaze]

Well any true possible peace of mind was stolen from me for a while, but I can't really get even close to one becouse I tend to have a strong need to help
Meaning I tend to take on my self more and more projects to work on, even while being over booked as it is
So always on a sprint trying to catch up to it all

At some point have to go back to an asylem close there some time and chill some what

I am getting near retirement a d I felt like everything I planned on has suddenly gone sideways. Inflation is a big part of it but the world is just not the same since we had covid. I really don't know why but I have no joy in doing things ibused to like to do. I lost my job in 2020 and thought I might just retire then but I just got bored and thought if I went back to work I would get back on track. I found a new job and it is a good job that pays more than my old one. My heart really is not in it anymore.

[mayaJames]

Sorry you lost your job

[exitseven]

@mayaJames. Thanks. I was a teaching at a local college and all of a sudden the whole place was shut down. It has been hard to find something else. I was one of those people that you read about that actually did better collecting unemployment but still I would have rather be working.

[ButthurtGAGpeople1]

And of course unemployment, is that big scary word that republicucks hate, WELFARE. It's a handout, LMAO

[exitseven]

@ButthurtGAGpeople1 I paid into the system my whole life and I had no problem collecting for a year and a half.

[ButthurtGAGpeople1]

Exactly, you took a handout

[exitseven]

@ButthurtGAGpeople1 I was repaid a loan.

[ButthurtGAGpeople1]

Yeah, you were given a handout. ITS WELFARE, dude. You got a handout

[exitseven]

@ButthurtGAGpeople1 If you crash your car and you file a claim with your insurance company is that getting a handout?

[ButthurtGAGpeople1]

The life we share
Doesn't mean anything
If we don't try to survive

There is so much left for us to do
Will you join me again?
I know I haven't been reliable in the past
You have had a hard time figuring me out
But I can promise you one thing
This journey's taught me to stand strong
Never again will I
Surrender my fears
Surrender my dreams
Surrender my soul
To the infection

[ButthurtGAGpeople1]

The song is called "try to survive" and the band is called "Chimaira" The album is called "The Infection". And it's from 2009

[mayaJames]

Thanks

[_Maya_]

Yeah right now sorta surviving. Working long days and also nights to make what I can during summer to save up for school year when I can't work as much because I gotta do school work. I am going or starting my masters fall semester. Once I'm done then won't be surviving as much and I am guessing more fun with steady job and career.

[Nikki1989]

I have so much peace of mind it is nauseating.

[alearningboy]

For now I have my mind in piece. Less on social media, a lot reading, having fun with my Lego set and puzzles. I have a job for now is everything going good.

[mayaJames]

That’s so much good for you

[alearningboy]

Haha yes a less busy with the world, now im in rest only time for myself😊

[mayaJames]

That’s nice

[Likes2drive]

If I had my own place again , I would have peace of mind

[mayaJames]

Don’t you have your own house

[Likes2drive]

Not anymore, lost everything in divorce, had to short sell it, I owned one before that too but now it’s so expensive to buy without having one to sell that I don’t know what I’m going to do

[AliceGregory]

I'm having a little less peace of mind now because I have to start worrying about my boobs killing me. But hopefully I'll have it back after I get them squeezed X)

[BoopBoopBeep]

I'm having a blast. I think I have about as much peace of mind as I can.

[mayaJames]

That’s so true and nice

[clampfan101]

I’m just surviving. I want to find friends and eventually romance. I had a girlfriend once, but she passed away. We didn’t get the chance to get far in terms of romance, but her loss was enough for me to go from actually living to simply surviving.

[Anonymous]

I am currently paying for some very bad decisions I made 2 years. I blame no one but myself for what happened. I’m working hard to get my shit together.

[Malwi93]

Having fun is actually not having peace of mind

[Simslover92]

I am just surviving at this point.

[mayaJames]

Same here

[Mansearching]

Just surviving. It puts a lot of stress on ya...🤢😨😱😵

[mayaJames]

[Mansearching]

I don't know what can relieve my stress

[mayaJames]

Only you can know

[Mansearching]

Sex doesn't work. Stress comes back afterwards... lol

[mayaJames]

lol that’s true

[Guardian45]

Your Q is timely, my A is not, but nevertheless relevant to me. I am NOT having fun AND doing this thing to survive.

[OddBeMe]

I’d have to break open peoples skulls for pieces. It that I’m against it. I just don’t like touching sticky things.

[Luckycharms12]

Majority of us are stressed serving with moment of peace here and there

[mayaJames]

Yeah true

[zagor]

Because some little part of my mind keeps trying to destroy my life.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I'm good I do have piece of mind. Do you have it and if not why don't you have it

[mayaJames]

Have been all alone

[Anonymous]

Just surviving is enough, reason won't matter anyway.

[mayaJames]

Okay

[Darryl1057]

I like to be nude and I put on a front and sneak around I want to be free it’s not about the sexual perversion

[noohair]

I have blissful solitude. It is wonderous.

[mayaJames]

That’s nice

[krin_m]

Worrying about things that are not under my control.

[Nominal]

I am not where į want to be, against my will because of the country Law.

[Nominal]
