    As someone who’s lived slightly more years than number of deaths of friends, loved ones, and relatives on both ends of the generational spectrum, I’d never agreed with the “order” of that metric (which is, thankfully, becoming recognized as entirely unhelpful at best).

    Salient point, before I’m too stoned to convey it: seek your joy, and hunt/craft/attain it. Our collective ability to uplift each other begins with self-care, and we owe it to each other as much as to our own selves. 💜✊🏼🖖🏽

      Thank you and all others in this thread. If nothing else, leaving Reddit helped me find a community of compassion that isn’t designed around continuous engagement. We fight on.
