I’m making some friends here n there but they aren’t here in Vancouver for a long time. Like international visa people who are here for a year or two. I guess it’s cause I also kinda broke up which is making a bit sad that n not having a tonne or money now lol. Literally less than 20k in assets excluding my house n I’m not producing or being productive. That’s the thing I ain’t productive now. When I was playing poker I was at least productive but fuck what can I do to make 50$ an hour. I have the know how to trade n invest just no rich people to invest for lol. Wish I ran a hedge fund or something but then I would say it’s too much work n not enjoy it. Hence why I’m living so frugally so I can get a BR myself to start trading when it’s worth my time. I don’t have much cash or crypto but have some gold n Pokémon card worth some what a decent amount but things are looking up, I got some ideas I’m working on so I feel productive today n working towards more goals in the future. Going to the gym is 7$ a day lol I go like 5 times a month cause I can’t afford too much of it. Gas is over 2$ a litre n I started transittint cause driving got expensive. Fucking Vancouver is so expensive Meeting up with people and having a good time can be addicting. It's a matter of expectations. If my expectations get skewed I will be resentful of meetups. I don't know what the number is for me but I like 1 on 1 meetups or small groups. If the amount of people in the group gets too high I feel out of my zone and disconnected unless I connect with someone sitting close to me. $20k in assets is a lot relative to most people. I would get over this idea of "producing" or being "productive." Like I said if you aren't creating art, researching something to change / help the world, engaged in political activism, etc. it ain't it bro. The compulsion to produce / work / perform is destroying us. It's burning us out and speeding up the end of the Earth as we know it. You aren't productive? Fucking good. Get better at that. I would definitely get these poker ideas out of your mind. It's over man. Way over. And these trading ideas you need to either prove you can do it while you still have cash or get over it as well. Still u have to produce an income to have an okay life, tell the big carbon emitter to F off not a guy like me

Yes, we have to make an income. Beggars can't be choosers. I was just down at the local Goodwill scoping it out to see if I would want to work there. It's retail and it's kind of depressing but my car needs new brakes and tires what am I going to fucking do?

I'm not going to listen?

It's an age old question and I think that relationships before sex are stupid and naive. I never said I was against relationships. The best way to get over a breakup is to date new people or at least one of the ways if you are up for it. The best would be a 5 day bender in Las Vegas even though I don't do that anymore.

I have no goals and no purpose it's easy to be different than me but in reality most people are me they just won't admit it to their consciousness. Or, really, their goals and purpose are rather flimsy when compared to the universe and immortality. Humans want immortality and to matter but they don't when compared to the universe. That is why terrestrial relationships with family, friends, and The Other matter so much. We are basically nothing without them.

find goals find purpose find ur fulfillment

I went for a walk today. Exchanged Hellos and smiles with this smoking hot chica. She was wearing a Pink Floyd shirt. Spring time it is. The Other is in the air. Is that a purpose lostaccount? I just want to live a good life.

Yes, connecting with people can be a purpose

Making genuine connection gives us happiness

In Today's world it seems like everyone puts the onus on the individual to be happy. What about society?

It's like that rat experiment. You put a rat in a cage alone with cocaine and it overdoses almost every time. You put a rat in a happy rat park and they almost never overdose on the cocaine.

Happiness is such a loaded word though because it's not even close to a permanent state of being.

No idea

From a happiness level I’m a 6/10 cause of things

But my happiness is up n down, 2 being the lowest n 11 being the highest so average out at 6.5

Rn it’s a 6.23777

Gratitude level is infinity

rn im a 7/10 lol

life pretty good rn 9/10

Hopefully, you can keep that up. 9/10 is pretty strong.

I was probably at a 9/10 watching Studio Ghibli. I think there was an afterglow and now I've fallen to a 7/10 because I'm not watching Studio Ghibli. Studio Ghibli is a hard act to follow.... Not sure what I can do to get back to a 9/10 tonight. Maybe snort some cocaine. Or maybe just be grateful I'm at a 7/10 and live my life with grace.
