i love you and ship so much you wonderful weird nature lovers, it's so interesting to read about your lives how much you love this planet. I wonder how you guys do it? how do you look at this miserable planet of ours and find joy and wonder and inspire others? i see everything through a fog of depression and sorry for getting dark but most days i dont see the point anymore so i am gonna ask you guys how do you feel so alive all the time??? whats your secret????
Well, I won’t speak for Ship, but MY secret is that I actually have extremely severe depression. And I have those days you’re talking about.
You’re right. This planet can be pretty miserable. Day in and day out, evil people come out on top, ignorant people hurt the planet because they just don’t care enough to learn, and others still are forced to knowingly hurt the world, because being environmentally responsible can actually be pretty damn expensive!
The key is that you cannot, cannot, cannot just focus on the bad. I know that’s a hard-won, bitterly scored victory when you suffer from depression or other mental illnesses, but it’s a battle you Need to fight. Listen, friend. We’re in the middle of the sixth mass extinction, alright? The whole natural world is on fire right now. But if we give in to despair, all really will be lost.
So try to just think a little more gently and enjoy yourself.
Start by finding a little piece of the planet that just genuinely satisfies you because it exists. For me, that’s amphibians. For others, that’s trees, or flowers, or birds.
Next, don’t focus on the bad. There are times when you need to worry, get angry, and fight. But if loving something becomes so stressful that you don’t even get to enjoy loving it anymore, what’s the point? I KNOW it’s important to “be aware,” but fuck, man. You need to give yourself a break if you’re gonna survive, you know? I sure do.
For me, nothing really helps me find peace in the world more than stepping out and being a part of it. So whatever helps you feel like the world is a little less miserable, get involved in it physically, and eventually you’ll be involved in it completely. If it’s crochet, take a class, or sit outside for a change of scenery and just do it.
For me, it’s being in streams, in mud, in leaves. So I take barefoot walks. Sometimes I actually just. Stand knee-deep in some mud and enjoy it, idk.
Let yourself be present. Allow yourself to look at something you like and for the moment only see the good. Worry about the rest another time. It’s okay.
Also, it’s not necessary to inspire others to live a good life. Inspiring yourself is enough. If you live a life where you try your best to be content, or at least OK, and in the bad times you hold on, and in the good times you’re grateful, and you try not to hurt others (but we all sometimes do, being people), and you find something that inspires you that you hold onto no matter how dark it gets, and the thing makes the world seem a little bit more worth it, even if the way you care never makes a big change in anyone else’s life, then you are doing a good job. You’re living a life worth admiration. It’s okay if, at the end of the day, your biggest goal is to just somehow be OK. I know that it’s mine. You really, really don’t need to change the whole world. Just focus on the world around you. Do what you can, accept when you can’t, and focus most on being someone who you want to be. I’m willing to bet that once you’re doing that, you’ll inspire people without even realizing it. This all sounds very cliche, but I know that it’s true.
Everything Molly Anne has said is true. I’m hardly the picture of mental health. It’s been a few years since I stopped seeing suicide as an option, but I’ve got serpents on the brain enough still. Sometimes all that gets me through is the Carl Sagan-influenced idea that, if nothing else, I can be a witness. I am a part of the universe, and therefore I am a vessel by which the universe observes, understands, and loves itself.
Whatever bad things may happen, whatever may be lost or changed or harmed, every action you take born out of love or wonder is the universe reflecting inwards and treasuring some small part of itself. No matter what it is, no matter how small or silly, you are giving it value through your attention.
I dropped my pursuit of environmental science when I became too paralyzed by terror and anxiety to derive any kind of pleasure from my studies. Sometimes I regret that, but I did what I needed to do to survive and protect myself, and I have entered the field sideways as a children’s educator. If not for my psychological “failure”, I wouldn’t be sharing and spreading appreciation for the natural world as effectively as I do now.
My mother used to recite Max Ehrmann’s poem “Desiderata” to me as a sort of mantra when I was a child caught up in despair. You can read the full thing here. Many years later, as a grown adult, lines of it echo around my head during my darkest moments, when I feel like I’m drowning in a black haze.

This Is What The Refrance: a new podcast!
Hi everyone!
This Is What The Refrance is a new podcast released every other Thursday, where your hosts (Alix, Blueberry, and Martine) (and guests??) take on the daunting task of consuming every piece of media referenced in the online multimedia epic known as Homestuck.
If you haven’t read Homestuck yourself, never fear! Episode 0: Introduction introduces not only your hosts and the idea of the podcast, but a quick overview of Homestuck (story, characters, and concept).
In this episode: introductions to ourselves, the show, and Homestuck; Blueberry fearlessly leads us through the whole freaking cast; twenty minutes of Martine’s audio get eaten by the podcast monster; Alix calls Gamzee “a meanie,” which is definitely the worst thing he’s ever been called.
This week’s episode, Episode 1, starts us off strong with the media referenced on page 1 of Homestuck: Ghostbusters (1984).
In this episode: we review Ghostbusters for its connection to Homestuck; Blueberry wonders whether it would be Just to kill Venkman with her own hands; Martine threatens to quit the podcast, and hates Venkman; Alix has a cold and subsequently has to edit out herself sniffling approximately a thousand times, and also wishes Venkman would burn in hell. CONTENT WARNING: Date rape/drugging is briefly discussed in a non-explicit manner.
Next week we’ll be exploring the Cthulu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft, if you’d like to read along with us. Follow us on Twitter @WhatTheRefrance for new episodes and updates on what we’ll be covering in future weeks.
Thanks for listening and for sharing - this is a new exciting thing for all of us and we’re really happy to share it with you!
SIGNAL BOOSTING MY NEW PROJECT it would mean a lot if y’all listen, and share if you like it! we’re only on Soundcloud so far but might end up on itunes or something if we get more than like 5 listeners…
