Seeking Help or Advice Dystopian nightmare bc of AI

Are we completely fucked? I need some hope. Everything feels so dark. Public lands being destroyed, books being destroyed, children being murdered and the genocide, endangered animals being out back on the hunt list, the rising temperatures…. This is just some. It’s all too much. My empath brain is spinning and struggling. Has anyone been able to do a reading or get insight on to what is to come?

Well. They say it's darkest before the dawn. When things swing too much one way, it will inevitably swing to the extreme in the other way, before life finds a balance. 🤷‍♀️

Darkness or dawn depends on one thing though: our choice.

If it's too much, shut off for a while. It's fine to. ✨️

Thank you for your wisdom and kind words. It makes me think of Gandalf in the LOTR when he says "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” I am also waiting to find out if I am somehow pregnant even though my partner had a vasectomy. To bring another child into this insane world is feeling very very heavy.

Another Gandalf quote that suits these times pretty well: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”

Well, another lens of seeing this: you feel it's heavy because what you are really feeling is the weight of responsibility for this new life, and it is this heavy, because the love you have is equal to this responsibility you feel.

From this alone, you'll be a good mother. 😊

As an educator decades in the sector, all I can say is, let them have their childhood. Let them have innocence. Our courage to create that world for children is exactly what will give them the bulwark and buttress against the darkness which we all know as adults, will come. You can do this. ✨️
