there is ALWAYS a silver lining even in the worst situations. Post yours here

cleaning up clutter in the house, going through boxes of packratted stuff I don’t really need, doing little home repair stuff I had been putting off

Sometimes you have to look hard for it but it's true!

I'll start:

Those 5 pounds I gained this winter? Not stressed about it! In fact I'm getting reacquainted with my old friends CARBS. We've been apart so long!

Here's another: more time with my kids.


What's your silver lining? There always is one, it might be small but it's there

Love yas!

Getting closer to God.

Giving up porn is for privileged people. Involuntary celibates need it. Yes I’m talking about the ones with too many disadvantageous parameters converging in their life to give them any hope of climbing out of the hole of depression that is their normal mode of being. That, and, some people really shouldn’t reproduce. Better keep their biodata out of the gene pool. Let them have the small luxury of a <10 second dopamine spike to alternate from the heartnumbing mindless gray of their existence.

By the way it’s also good for sociopaths like me to suppress the impulse of wanting to cause other people pain and enjoying their suffering. If the acting is real enough...well, I’m lazy enough ;) Plus I like my freedom and it’s best to keep the libido low or there’s no telling what kind of devil I’d become. Not interested in living a life on the run!

So there’s a silver lining to it.
