How to Handle Desperation.

How do you handle desperation? You look for silence. A place that is so quiet that you can put your thoughts in order. So you can understand better the situation and not fall into a pit filled with your own despair. But this type of bullshit actually can also be handled with the opposite treatment. Look for a place full of sound and activities to distract you from the thing that is making you miserable. Desperation is a state brought by the loss of hope that your current situation won’t change, a.k.a. despair. 

Desperation is a leviathan that resides in the abyss of our mind waiting to swallow us whole when the chance comes. And sadly, this abyss comes with the absurd quality of exponential growth. It can become bigger than fucking Australia. So you need to fill the abyss like a miner filling a hole with rocks, sand, and earth. But instead of using those things, you will fill it with inner peace through the organizing of the proper order of your priorities or use the joy out of your activities to fill the hole and the mouth of that asshole.  

If you wish for a little comfort, I hope this verse can give you some:

🎼  So when your hope's on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road 🎼
