It's a video. Skip it and go fondle a tree.

Supporter Exclusive: Not touching grass causes atheism

"The city is a fucking prison. Force fed failure, eat what your given. ... We were the lions now we bow to the hydra, cause when you cut off the head, fucking two grow back." - Fit For an Autopsy.

It isn't the city but I'm stuck in my own kind of prison. I've been ill for the last five years, unable to physically do much more than vacuum a single room, and sometimes not even that. This, down from happily working two jobs, one in a lab and one in construction. Now, I'm coming to the end of it, with a surgical procedure that seems to have actually addressed the issue - yet I'm left with lasting damage. The vision in my right eye will never be the same again and my body has withered in strength after five years of being homebound. I've gained weight on top of that, an unhealthy amount, and the cherry on top is apparently a case of agoraphobia. I am as of writing staring down a barrel that I havn't the first clue how to deal with. So when I say that this video hit home, and hit hard, and meant something, I hope you appreciate that I mean it. "Every day, make one thing better", eh? That statement sounds a whole lot like a crack in these prison walls that, maybe, with some effort, I can widen enough to crawl through. Sounds like hope. And hope is something I need, desperately. Thanks Logicked. Really.

Logicked....I remember years (?) ago I caught a download of yours. You were very depressed and you said you weren't going to leave up the video (which you didn't) but I think it was at a time you were going to try making YouTube your full time job but you were afraid you wouldn't be able to make it work. I never forgot that. I remember hoping things would get better for you and wishing you well. Life is forever changing. In my later years now I can't help thinking of the things I wish I had done but honestly I am so grateful for the things I did do. It really is a wonderful life. I'm glad I got to be a part of it. ♥️

Thank you. I have been stuck in an all or none mind set. Then I get absorbed in just keeping my head above water and get disappointed. And like you said about your situation, my life isn't terrible. We are getting by as well as anybody else. I think maybe I can be more grateful for what I do have while I try to change the things I want to.

Good luck with your situation. And no, making one thing better each day can't hurt at all. Even if the overall situation remains what it is, 365 days of (even tiny) improvements have to make it much better. Plus, seeing improvement has a way of motivating a person to make more improvements. It's self-reinforcing, if you get into the habit. Just don't go in expecting to fix everything at once. That's the poisonous way of thinking I got stuck in. It meant that when I "decided" to fix everything, I failed, because nobody can just fix everything wrong all at once. That's why accepting one tiny thing as good enough is so useful. It's a realistic standard.

I didn't know that was based on the island. Interesting.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am happy you are in a better place all around.

I needed this one. I have been feeling so stuck in my current situation. I have been living in Las Vegas for almost 15 years and I have been wanting to get out for a while now. We went on a family vacation this past summer to the Smoky Mountains and it was wonderful! But, like you said, eventually we had to come back to reality. My job is very niche and there aren't many places I can move to without starting over. I do not have a degree and getting one is not feasible at this point. I also recently got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia so I struggle with pain and fatigue. I guess I will start at least trying to make one thing better every day. It can't hurt, right?

The Long Dark. I've mentioned it in the past, but it's like an oil painting come alive! Then it tries to murder you! Lots of fun. I need to compare it to real pictures of Vancouver to see if the developers did your home justice.

What game?

Logicked

Not seeing the stars definitely is something I miss after leaving the farm. My wife and I live In just a small midwest town, but the town has insanely bright streetlights. I can basically count the number of stars while walking down the alley. Also my favorite game is based on an island that has it's inspiration drawn from Vancouver Island! It's a beautifully made game.

The tree smacked my hand with its branches and told me it deserved at least a decent watering and some fertilizer first. The ferns, however, were quite happy to get frondy. lol
