Does Happiness Start Now?

The media had you by your balls at this time

You definitely should look into stoicism

What you said about wiping the bags and car down after getting groceries, I’ve been wondering why people do this because I’ve always been taught that a virus can’t even survive outside of a body, so like why would we need to cleanse everything like that

This quarantine got us thinking way too much man. I miss just living in freedom, and exploring not going to lie. Right now all of us are trying to adapt to this new freedom, hopefully it's over soon.

This is just what i needed, fr.

I get happiness whenever I smoke which can be all the time. Once the high is gone I can't help but feel the need to get it again.

Have you / are u planning on reading the The Power of Now ? It’s a lil more spiritual but not fully, mostly about staying present, that happiness, just like other emotions, come and go . Yes we would all love to be happy all the time but it’s unrealistic, but like you said , living everyday, day by day without basically being on autopilot, is better than just constantly searching for happiness. The pandemic is something that’ll be in the unknown for a while so accepting that fact but also not forgetting that you are still able to do things is key. How would you ever get bored in a universe like this. Hope you find new video ideas soon !

I think happiness seems out of reach to people because they expect it to be this thing that you have or you don't. But I've always felt like it's just a result of all the other stuff you do that's good, like meeting people, and passions, and new shared experiences. It's supposed to be a product of living a fulfilling life (which is a different standard for everybody), not something entirely constant. So right now we're all stuck at home, and it seems like "normal" is on hold, and we can't meet people, and go to new places, or even to the old places we like, and also hey people are dying AND nobody knows how long it'll last. We're stuck with ourselves. Usually we have all the noise of life to distract us from our own heads, but right now it's radio silence, so we're just feeding this insane loop of whatever's in there. This car pod was great food for thought, glad to know we're all just doing our best to exist rn.

scary to think that our ignorance is the only thing prolonging the pandemic 😳
