    My brain is on a pendulum swinging back and forth between “nothing matters” and “everything matters”

    If you find this meme relatable due to anxiety (I do), meditation helped me so much.

    My employer pays for a meditation subscription and it didn’t just teach me breathing or how to think about “nothing.” It taught me to note the thought/feeling, label it as one of the two and let it go.

    I’m not where I want to be, but I’m much closer.

    If nothing matters, then you can choose what matters to you, and if I choose to care about something, then it matters because it matters to me, even if it doesn’t to other people.

      It seems like weak minds, such as those religious memes are able to successfully colonize, tend to see meaning coming from external sources higher on their perceived hierarchy than they are.

    This feels like my job. 17 years I’ve been there and the amount of times they panic and set impossible deadlines on things that in the end never seem to matter later on is staggering…

      That’s because it doesn’t matter to the company, only to the stupid manager who made a stupid promise so they could get a raise.

        Tbf it’s usually the customers fault.

        Customers don’t care/understand how things work so if someone bullshits them with a ridiculous time frame they have no idea. All the customer hears is “I can do it faster” and dumbass monkey brain kicks in

    I feel like this should have been the end credits to the Game of Thrones finale. Actually it should also have been the end credits of the Battlestar Galactica finale as well.
