Seems like you are in a low spot. If you are like me, you may not be able to emotionally remember being any higher.

This may sound weird, but that is okay. All of it is okay. It is okay to be unmotivated. It is okay to feel worthless. Let's take second and just experience those feelings.

Let's simply * exist * with this feeling. You should not be down on yourself for feeling this way.

Once you feel like not existing in that space I highly recommend finding some sort of purpose. Purpose not in the grandiose sense, but in a day to day sense.

If you like animals, get a pet. An animal is great as it will get you up and about and set a routine to help you live your life. That works for some.

If that doesn't work for you, consider something with a community, a local group, charity, or church are great for that.

If that doesn't suit you consider living to make the world in some way better. Join a political, or activist organization.

But a lot of this depends on how much you put into it. The more you put in the more you get, as they say.

Now here is the tricky party, for where you are at. You have to make a decision. You have to get over the, 'I am not good enough" phase. Which is hard. That is why I said the first step is to exist in this emotion for as long as you need to.

But once you decide on something invest yourself with full force. Train that pet, lead a small group, attend a protest...

when you are ready.

An ideology that says, "Government is never the answer", is as useful as one that says, "Government is always the answer".

This is something I wrote in a Reddit post regarding workers unionizing. I am quite proud of it for its conciseness

"
The problem with raw supply and demand dictating the labor market is that these are human beings not commodities. There is a reason labor standards, minimum wages, and unions exist: to ensure that the bottom of the labor market is not below a humane standard.

I think a great rule I have seen on Mastodon is Boost someone looking for something (artists, type of people, groups).

Even if you have nothing to offer, you can at least get that user a little more exposure to find their thing.

I am thinking about make a facebook alternative. Except it is not for friends and family. It is for the only people you should keep closer than friends. It is for you to stay connected to your nemesis.

If they aren't in the network you can build them an effigy(placeholder account), if they don't like it they can claim it, like Yelp!

If you think about, Coats of Arms are really just a form of branding.

A messy, cluttered, weird form of branding.
