Perspective, really.

I've no hopes for humanity or our collective future. I don't believe I'll retire, or even live to the point where I'll be able to retire. I'm kind of 50/50 on society even still being around by the time I retire.

But, I'm moving next week. I'm very excited for that. The new area is lovely. There'll be a dog park pretty much right outside the door, and we'll be able to go for walkies next to a lovely lake. There's also a huge forest area nearby. So I tend to think of the immediate future and "live in the moment" so to speak because the future is going to be rubbish, and hopefully I won't be around to see it.

This here is the light of my life.
