Do you ever get suspicious when things are going great that some nonsense is around the corner? The universe has plenty of tricks up its sleeve to remind us that happiness is not the absence of misery, but rather the way we deal with it.
Humor is oftentimes one of the best tools that help us to get through everyday life. It reduces stress and makes it easier to cope with all the challenges that come in our path.
'2nny' is an excellent example of this. This fun little social media project shares hilariously relatable jokes on our sleeping habits, work, relationships, and everything in between.
In these situations, a good laugh is a powerful reminder that we're tougher than we think and can tackle obstacles with a smile on our face.

Enough money prevents a ton of problems and is a great stress relief. You can pay rent in a safe neighborhood, buy healthy food, fix the car, get decent shoes for your kids, splurge some on fun stuff, go to the doctor in time, and so on. Money is an amazing therapist but of course not a miracle cure.
Your comment reminds me of something I heard that went along the lines of “They say money can’t buy happiness but it can pay to get rid of things that make you unhappy.”

Yes! Universal Basic Income, Healthcare and Housing is really what we should strive for. Just give everyone the baseline and watch society become happier and flourish. If you want more, work a bit more but everyone should be cared for. USA can afford it, but nobody wants to invest in it.
Load More Replies...That would be a psychiatrist in that case....they are much more reliable than a therapist.
Load More Replies...I'll be honest, as a former addict, money helps but doesn't solve what rehab/therapy does. If there are inherent issues beneath survival, it will not be solved with money. I've seen people be very well off and be complete messes. There are many options for free and low-cost therapy out there. Some places do a sliding-scale deal. I hear this complaint all the time, but a lot of people that need to go that actually could go for free, don't go. They use money as an excuse. I say this as a person that struggles with mental issues/addiction, needs to be on meds my whole life, and live under the poverty line. Please look for free/low cost programs!
therapy good....more money only leads to wanting more money...get to a place where you can cover rent and utilities the rest is just choices and options...get that happy balance right and you'll never need or want more money (controversial I know ) it just becomes mindless consumerism otherwise...ask yourself "do I really need or want it ?"
I don't think talking about balance is a hot take at all! :)
Load More Replies...It would be great to have enough money put aside so that I could stop worrying about it.
Money can't buy happiness, but it'll sure make it easier to look for.
I need more money so I can go to therapy more often than every other week, among other reasons.
Where I work they have just introduced "staff wellbeing" to 'support' staff feeling more stressed. This involves getting staff to spend more of their personal time after work to go to yoga classes to relax so they can do more work while at work. The fact that they are not reducing the extra work load they have put on the staff that is causing the stress says it all.
Look into low-cost therapy in your area! There are usually hotlines that can hook you up and point you in the right direction.
Load More Replies...Yes!!! listen phone etiquette is different these days. Don't leave me a voicemail unless you're a bot. I'll just assume your bot anyway. Text me. And if you want to call text to ask when is good. I literally get a pit in my stomach seeing a call. I immediately think someone died.
Childhood memories of me and my siblings laying down in bed when it rained hard, mostly the monsoon season back in the country, just laying there hearing the rain dropping on the roof, feeling that comfort, falling asleep, waking up and falling asleep again, happy times-happy memories
when you need sleep but the sleep dont need you 😘✌🏻 edit: why was i downvoted 😭
I just don't talk. It was drilled into my head as a kid. "Bitter, you're rambling. Bitter, please shut up."
I can't flirt either, I interrogate men to check compatibility
My family has a delusional view of me, so I do what I can to avoid them.
My anxiety won't let me argue via text for fear of a massive miscommunication.
I'll straight up ask. I've gone on several 1st-2nd dates and it sort of ended there. I'll attempt to ask what, if anything, turned them off. Red flags, etc. Honesty is a common complaint, I don't get it.
People who show me new podcasts are important. People who show me to books are important.
Same. I hate that some phones do the "read" thing. I don't need you to know that I'm ignoring you.
I’m patting myself on the back because my old a**e actually can make all that out
Yeah, that tends to be the consensus when you have been lied to most of your life...
It was all the same person, over and over again. I know bp loves to steal from other social media, but, like, at least put a little effort into it.
this list feels...off, somehow? i think the tweets are too short and it's weird to see a giant list of submissions that are like 5 words each
I thought it was just me, like my age thing. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Load More Replies...those messages were extremely painful to read. what has happened to communication in todays society??
