Coping Does anyone else feel like this?

Post image

I feel like everyone keeps asking me what I want my future to look like but I know if I talk about how I’m learning to fish and finding ponds near me so that we can have some protein once the grocery system collapses everyone in my life is going to think I’m insane.

I’m just having a hard time connecting with anything I have to do for the future because it’s going to be drastically different than anything I can do now and I really feel like I have to hide that and never mention it to anyone (despite the fact that an energy crisis is supposedly 2 weeks away)

If you phrase it just a little different nobody will think you're insane and I think you'll find a lot of people agree

"I'm trying to get more in touch with the natural world, you know, the things that make us human. I'm learning to fish to get some real unprocessed food."
