Depends on the person


when the pandemic hit I was a grad student, we didn't have kids, and our living situation was nice (tiny studio but it had a wonderful, if small, outdoor space). Scary times for sure, but life


at least the day to day


was...pretty good!

Now we have kids, and my god, I can't imagine.

Pandemic was low-key one of the best times of my life.

Is it bad if I say this at least once every hour of consciousness?

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I just say that without dropping my coffee.

It's strange how easy it is to evaluate life based solely on the moment you're in. Later on that day something really good may have happened to her and and her outlook would do a 180 flip for a while. Maybe she has something really good for lunch or achieves something she's been working towards and feels amazing

Yeah. Like she had an iced coffee and tertiary education. That's pretty fucking elite.

People are just not thankful for what is good, and just focus on the bad. There are life skills to learn how to enjoy life and how to be in control of it.
