    Not feeling this. This thing hasn’t really messed with me in that way because I guess it’s been the narrative mood since 2016. Identity and self intact. Getting through it feels like a challenging engineering problem rather than a growth/resurrection/regeneration experience.https://twitter.com/collinofzion/status/1249106598984847361 …

    Last night my roommate and I threw funerals for the versions of ourselves that were wrong about reality. Very cathartic and very emotional. We made tombstones and gave speeches over our metaphorical dead bodies. Highly recommend. pic.twitter.com/q9sLjbJ85B

        Yeah, this feels like a natural (not expected or predictable, but organic) continuation of the same cursed timeline we’ve been in since 2016.

        Yeah, for the most part I'm actually feeling calmer than I have in ages. Nothing like having years of cognitive dissonance resolve overnight when the world and your view of it suddenly fit.

        Well apart from heightened financial anxiety as a gig economy guy and wanting to avoid actual virus... yeah calm

        Same here, not feeling a deep change. But I see how someone in different circumstances could. Breaking the illusion of safety and predictability is scary for anyone. I think you and I already had this change prior to this

        Internals manifesting. "Finally, the world is inside out and suffering is exposed." Cept, surprise! Getting things "out in the open" isn't so cathartic.
