How do people cope with this awful world? I just want to go home…
I’m sorry, anon. It can be hard being in this world–especially when you remember worlds that were better, brighter, more magical, more just.
But despite all its flaws, this world that we share now has beauty in it, and joy, and life, and, when we work for it, justice. Its important for of us to keep fighting to find joy in this world, to connect to people, and to try to make the world a better place for each other, even when its hard.
But at the same time, its okay to need a break. Take time out, and retreat to where you feel safe. Its okay to have days where you want to bury yourself in your bed and lose yourself in memories and visions of other worlds, yours and distant ones.
But just remember, when you’re feeling stronger, there are things and people here for you. There’s a whole world and not all of it is ugly and awful. Some of it is kind of nice.

I know how you feel anon. I’ve been there. Sometimes , this world can feel crushing. Depressing and unfair. It’s hard. I remember worlds where magic surrounded me and the world was just.
Sometimes I want to go back. This world and its hypocrisy and cruelty make me feel sick. But… It’s not always that way.
This world is beautiful. For all the cruelty and unpleasantness , there’s the glory of nature. The stunning beauty in every little thing. There are people. You can find someone who understands you and makes you happy. There are *good* people out there. There’s joy. There’s hobbies and fun and activities to have.
There’s infinite possibility .
Sometimes when I’m nostalgic and wanting for the land I came from…. I watch or read something that reminds me of it. Indulge in immersing myself as much as I can… And then take some time to drive out somewhere nice and just.. Relax. A cliffside park. A river. Even a local restaurant. Somewhere you enjoy.
After a while, I start feeling better about the world . And it’s easier to see how being here is not so bad.
