      I don’t mean to be a downer, but I don’t think the revolution will bring back snow, unless the capitalists set the world on fire.

    Reality:

    You get fucked by big companies. Your snow is reduced to februrary because of climate change.

    Finding a special other is almost impossible due to social media fed anxiety. Meeting people outside of the internet is unknown and people on the internet are the weirdest ones.

    Owning a house is a privilege of the upper society.

    Thanks to our parents and grand parents the governments in most countries are more right wing than before.

    Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future.

    I do not dream of labor. Ten years from now I hope I am building apocalypse resistant shelters with my affinity group, growing my own food and filtering my own water, and growing cannabis for trade.

    Already married (more than a decade). Nice home (but renting). Disabled so can’t work but that’s OK, we make the best of it. We don’t celebrate Christmas but I can imagine Winter Solstice or Matariki. Kids are almost asleep, so close enough. My spouse and I snuggle like this most nights. Holy shit, it’s snowing?! It doesn’t snow here so I’m simultaneously delighted for a once in a lifetime snowfall but also disturbed that it’s snowing… We homeschool, what day of the week is it again? The hardwork is indeed worth it.

    Still 7/10 ain’t bad 😅

    Every day is ‘making it’ though and will be for the rest of our lives since life is ever changing and ever evolving. Find hygge and gratitude every day and you’ll realise that you don’t need to achieve some fake “made it” state because you already have 💜

    In ten years we’ll have missed the boat to have kids and we still probably won’t be able to afford a home in the city we live in. At least it won’t be long till the Water Wars starts and ends this miserable timeline.

    The nice part is “the kids are asleep” because kids are so much fucking work when they are awake. “You made it” means you finally got the kids too sleep because they ate too much sugar and were bouncing off the fucking walls because “I can’t sleep because I’m too excited”.
