Wow, a lot of these posts are a little depressing. Or maybe it’s just that they’re thoughtful, and that comes across as depressing.

What brings me joy is watching the sunrise on Salisbury Beach. And what’s better, i don’t even have to go to Salisbury Beach to watch the sunrise — it’s available on YouTube from this channel called Salisbury Sunrises (@salisburysunrises).

So after I go for my morning walk, I can come back and put on a Salisbury Beach sunrise and watch the sun come up over the ocean, while I have breakfast; it’s very reassuring. Even if i lived at the beach, i probably would not wake up in time to watch the sunrise anyway. This way I don’t have to!

What little things do you take advantage of to bring you joy? If you have any cool ones, please share with me — i would appreciate adding them to my repertoire.

Life?

Life is like a skating rink. Everyone shuffles in and awkwardly (or some less awkwardly) goes around in a big giant oval, over and over and over and over again until they leave. Very profound.

You wake up every day, and you’re alone, and you just go on like it’s all gonna be fine. You have no idea how it’s gonna turn out; you just do it because there’s nothing else to do.

“You don’t wanna be with me: i’m a mess.”

“Everybody here is a mess. I’m a mess. You’re a mess. That’s why we’re here.”

Moral? Be a mess; go ahead.
