“I've lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.”
- Mark Twain
Apparently many of the survivors were quite content as they had somehow survived the destruction.
Prepare for the worst (as in planning), but never take it to heart or you’ll drown.
I don’t know if it’s always this way, but I create emergencies and catastrophes because I otherwise have no motivation to do anything. My back has to be against the wall to get me to act. It’s been a lifelong issue, I’ve tried to kill myself several times because of it, and I learned it was ADHD in the last month. 100% of my issues are explained by this. I never would have guessed.
