I just had a third package stolen out of my mailbox in a month. I don’t usually feel this way, but your post speaks to me. Can I move to another country yet?

Sorry. Best we can do is imprisonment and slavery.

Oh no! Let’s not, please.
I think I’m over the apathy… It was actually sadness and overwhelm that I wasn’t processing. I’m back.

Glad to have you back! I recommend you pet a duck to gain a little happiness. Why a duck? Because there’s tutorials on how to catch one safely. Enjoy!

Trying to catch a baby duck is like trying to hold water, or happiness, in your hands. They seem to be Schrodingers ducks for how rapidly and unexpectedly they move.
And an adult duck? They sometimes pet you back! I kept ducks for a while and one would regularly preen my fingers as though they were feathers.
Ducks can be happiness.
