"IS THIS THE DEATH OF ART?" Well art has died before. Art died in both the 1980s and 1940s. Art died in the industrial revolution. Art died when they invented the printing press. Art died when we stopped painting on cave walls. Art died when you, personally, stopped finger painting. You can absolutely be a hater though that's part of it
Current mood: Bob Belcher saying ‘oh my god’
This is gonna sound like a joke, but I had an almost religious experience with a sandwich yesterday.
I've been in a bit if a depressive episode for the last ten or eleven months, the absolute nadir of my life, it's like that one line Office Space, "every day is the worst day of my life..." And this weekend was particularly low for me, like I went to a DARK place for a bit, couldn't even conceive of a way out.
For a week now I've been waking up around 11 or noon because I didn't see the point of getting out of bed and starting another Sisyphean day... Well, last night I barely slept at all, I tossed and turned for hours, my mind wouldn't turn off, I wasn't tired at all and none of my usual sleep-inducing tricks were working.
There I am, 8 in the morning, haven't slept a wink, disheveled, disoriented, dehydrated, depressed out of my skull, ready to implode. Instead of staying in bed, I decided to go get some breakfast. I only had $7 in my account, so I couldn't get a full meal, just a sandwich. I got a honey butter chicken biscuit thing at a drive thru. Cheap, small, not very filling, not what I was craving, not even what I wanted at the moment, just what I could afford.
It was the greatest sandwich I have ever eaten.
I scarfed it down in three or four bites, took less than 30 seconds, and it was so good it snapped me back to reality. I took a shower, I brushed my teeth, I drank some water, and I started working on a creative project for the first time in months. One minute I was ready to end it all, next minute I'm a functioning human adult because I REALLY wanted to eat another one of those sandwiches.
I don't think it was the sandwich exactly, but more what it represented. My life isn't helpless or hopeless, I have friends and family who support me unconditionally, I am capable of doing things. I am not uniquely mediocre. I am not exceptionally bad off. I am not in any immediate peril. I can breathe. I am going to be okay.

The Good Place | S03E01: Everything is Bonzer!
Rewatched The Good Place for the first time since s4 dropped and. Oh my god. The Good Place said "people are a result of their environment but we always have a moral responsibility to be better" and The Good Place said "every day the world gets a little more complicated and it gets a little harder to be good" and The Good Place said "even in the face of total nihilism, when nothing you do will matter, you still have to at least try. Because trying is better than the alternative" and The Good Place said "if you have bills to pay and shit to deal with you don't have time or energy to become a better person" and then The Good Place really said "people get better when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don't " and THEN The Good Place really said "no one is irredeemable. Everyone can try to be better today than they were yesterday" AND THEN! The Good Place said "Heaven is just enough time with the people that you love" OH MY FUCKING GOD.
