  • Anxiety over doing something can really kick you down and lead to deep depression and feelings of incompetence. You can do it. For me I just look for a little goal and that helps me tackle the bigger ones. If I’m in a rut I will clean my home or go exercise, anything I can basically do on autopilot that’s an easy win.

    You absolutely can get your GED. You can pass it. Once you get thru that block it may change your feelings about your future and what you hope from it. Just taking some elective classes at a community college can lead to new interests and meet new people. It’s just easier to have someone like a teacher push milestones for me to reach instead of relying on my own motivation to do it.












  • I have been there, lived in Shanghai for a year working for a design company. It’s easy for an outsider to write it off as a dystopian nightmare but the people that live there wouldn’t agree. They’ve been thru worse and most generations would have only seen growth and progress. We see infringements on American ideals but they never had those ideals in their entire history.

    Currently the people are fed, they have employment, they drive cars or ride their amazing public transport system, it’s safe nearly anywhere you go at any time. They could easily look at our situation and think we are the ones living the nightmare. An inept government that fights itself, pathetic transportation, dangerous cities, school shootings. It just depends on what you started with and in 30 years their quality of life has dramatically improved while ours seems to have reached a plateau.
