Everything is f*cked up
It's all coming down
And it takes a worried man
Now to sing a worried song

Unclench your jaw.

Relax your brow.

Go get a drink of water.

See if you've taken your meds

Eat something.

Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing.

Because you do.

You're a wonderful person.

And have this. πŸ«‚πŸ–€ you did great today. You made it through

Again, it reminds of my realization that the Art of War wasn’t written for people like me… It was written for dumbass heads of state that NEEDED to be told β€œno, people don’t like it when you invade them.”

Every American war since Vietnam has been like β€œwe should invade a country and fuck up their government. They’ll be thankful that we did that!” And it’s never once worked because why the fuck would it?!

A black-and-white, single-panel meme. The scene is a house party. Couples are dancing. A pile of dust in the corner says to itself, "They don't know everything becomes dust." One dancer says, "We do, and yet we love." Another dancer says, "And yet we dance."
