   @erosdiscordia wow, these all sound amazing, and you have a lot.

   The low-demand hands-on art thing sounds like a great thing for me to try sometimes too <3

     @erosdiscordia please do be a killjoy.
     I'm grateful that you're sharing all this, but all these things come form a place of necessity and having to cope with a hard world, and I shouldn't be taking joy in that.

     I also find the ocean, or even smaller bodies of water very calming when my mind won't give me any rest or peace 💙

     @human_dude Oh, and going to the beach. Looking out at the ocean. How could I forget to list that? The ocean's like, a parent.

     @human_dude Not to be, ahem, a killjoy -- but I've *had* to have a lot.

     Those are the ones I use nowadays.

     In the past, there have been certain songs I've "lived in", when there didn't seem to be space in the actual world. I've relied heavily on keeping a diary, too, though nowadays that's for pleasure and not a desperate desire to figure out WTF. I started in 1988 and I'm still going. I used to eat for comfort, too, but that's not a terribly great habit. And I would hide in books. I'd like to write stories that people could live in, while they endured IRL, that give them courage to keep pushing. Nowadays I mostly read just for fun, or to learn stuff. But there's a special place for the books that gave me a safe place, or re-wired my thinking.
