Coincidence?

As I posted a comment in Nimmery's journal (who needs hugs at the moment), I had a phonecall from a friend who is going through similar problems.

Ie, she has work to do, she knows she should do it, but she can't gather enough motivation to do it. So she ends up doing something entirely unrelated and feeling guilty about it and burst in tears after some time because she despises herself crying

So I left Gaia and went at her place and we had a chat and I hugged her and after some time she got better. I can't do the work in her place and I can't force her to do it, so I end up feeling guilty too sad

I have the "luck" to be able to take myself by the hand and force myself to do unpleasant work or things I'm not motivated for if I have to do them. It saved me on more than one exam, when procrastination would try to take over.

I seem to meet more and more people like this. Their concerns are "is it really worth the effort? What is the point? What am I going to become after I do this? one more unemployed person in the statistics?"

I always try to imagine better tomorrows and that, in the end, all will resolve itself naturally. I'm optimistic, even if it's harder and harder in this era sad
