It’s Nice To See Old-School Diaries

I’m from the old school days of the “personal journaling” trend. I authored up a storm back in the 90’s when people were actually interested in reading real life stories and joining legit communities. If they got lucky, they’d even make half a handful of real-life friends in their reader base. Those were the days.

Now, most places have been taken over by algorithms, AIs, entities, and ad revenue schemes. Long story short, it’s good to see a basic platform. Let’s give it a whirl.

Life is okay, I guess. There isn’t much to enjoy about living in this world during these times, but at least the sun is shining.

People ask me how I’m doing all the time, and I can only respond with, “I’m here.” That’s about it.

I’m here, just existing in a world that has literally expelled me from its butt.

I’m here, trying to keep a roof over my head and food in my mouth in a “system” that makes it as difficult as possible.

I’m here, trying to encourage others while running out of hopeful things to say.

I’m here, telling the truths no one wants to hear and having imaginary doors slammed in my face daily.

I … am … here. That’s all I can say.

I don’t like it here at all, though. There isn’t a single person, dream, or thing I’ll be sorry about leaving behind when my time comes.

Please don’t take that the wrong way. I do not mean that I’m willing to facilitate my own demise. I simply mean I’m ready for the Heavenly Kingdom to come. I mean that living in this cesspool of a world is so disgusting and burdensome that I’ll be happy when it’s all over. No more bills, narcissists, taxes, sorrows, struggles, “systems”, entities, etc. Good riddance.

Unfortunately, I’m not quite ready to go, as I have not fulfilled my purpose yet. Many other people aren’t ready yet, either. And since the Almighty is a merciful King, more time gets added for further development. More time gets added to prepare ourselves for His coming, so we all wake up in this world yet another day. Yay, I guess. Lol.

I find the will and strength to move forward in His comfort and presence. I take my laments and complaints to Him, and He rejuvenates me.

I also find joy in the little things and remind myself to be thankful for what little I have.

The sun is shining today, and I have enough money to buy a happy meal (I think). It’s true that I’ve lost my life in this world, but I have also gained my life elsewhere. So we’ll see what this sunny day produces. We’ll see how many friendly faces I come across today. We’ll see how many little things I can appreciate on this fine Friday.
