Existing is expensive. If you agree, maybe you would consider sharing that message on the back of your transportation unit With This BRAND NEW JDB bumper sticker🙂. If someone’s going to be behind you in transportation frustration, they might as well be sharing a thought of commonality.

I find it interesting, this human tendency to cling and clutch onto something that is bad and hurtful, only because we're thoroughly acquainted with it, rather than explore something new, something unknown, with a chance of it being better or even good.
It seems we truly love staying in our zone of toxic comfort out of sheer familiarity.
It's like living in a town you grew up in, yet 've been promising yourself to leave because you hate everything about it. However, when the time comes, you don't go. You stay. Why? Because "I know where all the shops are." "I know how the buses come and go." "I know my way through the streets, I won't get lost."
I won't get lost...
One doesn't live in that town 'cause they like the architecture, or the people who live there too, or because it has blooming parks and good memories tied to the primary school. They just know there are buildings, people, parks and a primary school. None of them which they actually ever really liked.
But the knowledge of the fact that they are there, makes them calm. I know everything that lurks here so nothing can surprise me. Nothing unexpected. Nothing that I wouldn't know how to deal with.
I can't get lost...
There lies a certainty in the known hence safety and control.
It doesn't matter that it doesn't make me happy nor that I find no fulfilling purpose in it, why would I give up my control? Why would I risk my comfort?
Only a fool wants to live in fear.
That's all very understandable
but it's also just one big 'make your choice' video game. You've played it time and time again, therefore you know every possible outcome. All you then do is press Restart and you can pretend you live life again. Safely, under your control. And nothing ever changes.
Yeah..
This kind of control is false. It's something fear and a desperate longing for peace tricks us into thinking we have in our comfort zone.
Probably because we're constantly afraid we don't have control over our lives, hence we don't live them as we want to, hence we'll never be able to achieve our urgently desired peace. Or maybe it is just a poorly made up definition - that peace equals us being fully in control... which is humanly impossible.
Even funnier it gets when we realize how we don't even see this. The toxic comforts become a part of us subconsciously and sometimes very early on. Letting go of them [have] never crossed our mind because why would I give up a part of my identity? It feels wrong and unnatural despite the fact that I'd be letting go of something that's been harming me... but I'm used to it. I'm familiar with it. This is who I've always been.
Well, have you?
"i can't do this" i say, doing nothing
But do you really understand me?
My Morning thoughts
I don't know what to say other than I don't want to be here anymore. I try to distract myself, but always, every day, not existing is the best option.
