While I will remain vigilant, I have lost all hope. I won’t stop reducing, reusing, recycling, etc. But I expect to burn in a nightmare future regardless. This is what I consider a rational reading of the situation.

I've started to feel this way as well in a couple areas of my life. I'm not sure, but I think it's probably bad to feel this way? Lol.

Like my outlook for my future doesn't look good, but I also feel like I've stressed so much about it I'm kinda like...yeah ok, so now what. Stressing just makes me feel bad haha. Just keep moving forward I guess. Maybe I can correct the course at some point.

I think there's a way of accepting that can be cathartic if you don't let it bum you out and lose hope.
