Good morning everyone. :goodmorning:

I get the feeling that no matter what I write, I'm going to run into some conflictā€¦

I don't think I need to justify anything I've said with my personal history ā€” at this point I don't think it matters. And looking at the dynamic, I don't think any other opinion with a similar "optimistic" focus would fare any better.

I simply found this direction for facing the adversities I've encountered, encounter, and will encounter on my path. And I'll keep holding my position ā€” as long as it brings joy to my life and to the lives of the people around me.

Those who don't want to smile ā€” don't smile. In the end I couldn't care less, it's not my life, and we don't have to put up with each other's faces daily. I'll keep smiling, enjoying ice creams and paying for surprise coffees ā€” because I believe the overall picture is made up of these small details.

And regarding unsolicited advice ā€” Beef, I'm not going to ask permission to share my opinion on a public forum.

Hugs to those who want them. :heart:

"To redeem what is past, and to transform every 'It was' into 'Thus would I have it!' ā€” that alone do I call redemption."

I just bought a $70 Lego mushroom set



Fucking expensive ass legos:crankey:


Six different species for USD 70? Goddamn scandi price killers are destroying the market! I wouldn't let the Amanita alone go for less than 25 bucks! And those semis! Package should've been a hundred, bare minimum. Tooker jobs!!

Eh anyway. I kind of tapped out yesterday, it's a convo that disturbs a little. There's always someone... I don't blame anyone for doing something that works for them, but the idea that grieving is some kind of choice is, to me, pretty absurd and well, just saddening. It carries echos of when I was a kid and adults would say: chin up, boy. Sun's shining, just smile! The more you smile, the more natural it'll come!

Yeah dude, I carried my dead sister around, trying to fix something that couldn't be, until they took her from me, now you do that for a couple hrs and then smile and tell a good fart joke. And I'll award you this tinfoil medal for being a dick.

Ahem.
Good to see you again Rasmo! Sounds like a blast. And I know that feeling. Once the right crew has assembled itself, it's hard to go back to hyperindividualistic life. You can really feel in your bones that we are social animals and function very good in groups. A large part of our festival crew decided to go live together in a squat and they are one of the most stable communities I know. 'Best camp ever' in a pretty literal sense. If I didn't have kids I'd join them.

More Playa stories! Please

I haven't said anything about "a few hours." I don't think we're talking about the same thingā€¦

I'll leave here a study I find quite relevant in the midst of all these misunderstandings that have been generated.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8909498_Loss_Trauma_and_Human_Resilience

Quote:
One of the ways repressors and others show-ing resilience appear to cope well with adversityis through the use of positive emotion andlaughter (Bonanno, Noll, et al., 2003; Keltner &Bonanno, 1997). Historically, the possible use-fulness of positive emotion in the context ofextremely aversive events was either ignored ordismissed as a form of unhealthy denial (e.g.,Bowlby, 1980). Recently, however, researchhas shown that positive emotions can help re-duce levels of distress following aversive eventsboth by quieting or undoing negative emotion(Fredrickson & Levenson, 1998; Keltner & Bo-nanno, 1997) and by ā€œincreasing continued con-tact with and support from important people inthe . . . personā€™s social environmentā€ (Bonanno& Keltner, 1997, p. 134).

Several recent studies have supported theseideas in the speciļ¬c contexts of loss or trauma. Bereaved individuals who exhibited genuinelaughs and smiles when speaking about a recentloss had better adjustment over several years ofbereavement (Bonanno & Keltner, 1997) andalso evoked more favorable responses in ob-servers (Keltner & Bonanno, 1997).


If any of this resonates, George Bonanno's work is worth exploring. His research has quietly overturned a lot of assumptions about grief, resilience, and what healthy coping actually looks like ā€” and it holds up well.

Hugs :heart:

Man, I feel I may have started this list of people discussing trauma. When I was reading through the thread, i went a little deep into my head. Iā€™m sorry about that. I felt maybe I fucked up. Maybe I shouldnā€™t have said anything. Maybe I should keep my shit to myself. Maybe I should grab my dick and remember that Iā€™m alive.

Hereā€™s the fucking thing, though. I know Iā€™m alive. And sometimes, that fucking sucks, and sometimes it hurts, and sometimes itā€™s awesome.

Mushboyā€™s post of the Lego reminded me of fun times. So Iā€™m gonna drop a lot of bucks on that bitch, and when I put it together, Iā€™ll post it in the cult pic of the day thread and fuck anyone who gives me shit for it. Lol. So Mushboy, thanks for that, homie.

Iā€™ve been through a lot of shit. So have many of all of you. But we are a band of resilient individuals and we will not give up. Or we probably wouldnā€™t have made it here in the first place. So letā€™s all grab our cocks, buttholes, tits, or vaginas in solidarity and try to dance more. We could all use a bit more of that in our lives, Iā€™m sure. 

Chin up, homies.

The crux is this:


You have no idea whether or not we smile because you have no idea who we are nor do you seem to have any interest in knowing us.  I personally do smile and laugh--a lot, and i know many of these peope personally and i can assure you, their laughter is infectious. Im known to laugh all day every day.  But you wouldnt know that. 

Seems you would rather make assumptions and assessments about who we are as people and thats the part that rubs everyone wrong.  You think we dont know the shit youre telling us?  Do you think we dont smile?

You think we didnt study Nietzsche too?  like do you really think we all havent read The Body Keeps the score? (Twice) you think we dont exercise, make art, music, and write?

I mean to ask, do you really think youre helping? But most importanty, do you really think anyone asked for your help?

Look man, like I said.  Youre hearts in the right place but I think youve made a couple critical mistakes in your assessments.  You dont know us.  You dont understand us . You dont seem to understand the reason we all gather here and share stories of loss and relate to eachother. 

You seem more interested in evaluating everyone and inserting your opinions more than actually understanding anyone or getting to know us so your "hugs" seem disingenuous. Keep them. 

Heres some advice you didnt ask for: You actually have options.  You could for example, just not say anything. If you feel like what you're about to say might upset or annoy someone, consider leaving it unsaid.  OR, and hear me out, you could simply find another thread that has discussions more to your liking rather than trying to police the discussion here. You could actually ignore me, and you wouldn't need to see the entire thread. For the record, I agree you don't need to justify anything you've said. I appreciate you participating and you do not need my permission to share your opinions just as I don't need yours.

Think it over.

That wasn't directed at you, Belintaf. It was directed at the people who told me that shit when I was six years old.

Just trying to say that you cannot judge stuff you haven't experienced personally, that isn't your perspective, to keep Nietzsche at hand. People honestly say these things. "Wow, your bud killed himself, that's weird, man. Was he on drugs or something?"

They should rather shut up, that's more helpful. And you did the thing too. "Get your ass of the couch" is a judgement, not a real assessment of a situation, let alone a helpful remark. For me, personally, I have a couch because the kids wanted one. My wife uses it, too. Feeling pain for someone doesn't necessarily make you vegetative.

Now I'm going back to dancing in the sawdust while I make deco.

I confess I definitely empathize with everyone struggling here.  I sincerely hope everyone can heal from what's ailing them.  Best I can do is send positive vibes to the community and if anyone wants to talk my DMs are open.

You donā€™t think this is a tad insensitive? You donā€™t think most people with grief and heartache TRY to smile? We all do our best, dude. We all have work to do. Donā€™t trivialize it. Shits raw sometimes, bro.

Bud its insensitive. Don't worry about it.  I know how hard you try. God knows how hard we all try.  "get off the couch" was something that was written from a couch and "smile" is usually advice given by people who don't have a genuine belly laugh.  My art can be seen from google earth.  My try is visible from space.  My laughter makes small animals run for cover and bud, I know you. and I see you.

Iā€™m not worried about it, brother. We all have this shit on lock if we stay tight together. I love this community and I just need to show up more often. You all have proved that. And I need to get off my couch after a 70hr week and grow more cubes. Pans be damned!  Lol

Lol always loved Rodney Norman.  Even at my darkest hours I can watch some of his stuff and think, "shits gonna be okay".  Helps me anyway.
