As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

They hurt you at home, and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever, and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

Insanity is so relaxing

Actually, I do none of those things and am really happy.

I find a lot of happiness in art, spending time with my friends and trying to do my part in overthrowing capitalism.

If you wanna be happy, don't just numb yourself, find new art you enjoy (I've got a lot of great movies to recommend, if you are interested), organize, find local organizations where you can help out (maybe also something like mutual aid, a soup kitchen etc.), try to spend more time with your friends, or find new ones at the places mentioned above.

I understand that many of you work hard jobs and don't have that much time or energy left, and I understand that and it sucks.

But if you're bored or often find yourself spending way to much time online, why not use that time to revolt against the forces and systems that made us this unhappy?

Trust me, it may be hard at first, but it's way more rewarding and fun than doomscrolling.

Each step is the speed-run to the next, in no particular order. Also, this kind of exposure is what I get for journaling, isn't it?

J/k; I only work myself to exhaustion over specific tasks, and never for money.
