Mum. Since dad passed away early on 2024 I've been doing my best to care for her, but there's only so much I can do.

There's no simple explanation, no simple solution. I do what I can, putting both love and logic into every decision, but I am still worried about the future she has.

My lovely anxiety keeps it ever changing.

Not having enough money when I'm old. I don't have children or close family so I worry about what's going to happen to me when I'm older.

Climate change and all of the bullshit it will bring before it kills enough humans to start fixing the issue.

The Internet or the power grid just shuts down one day when I wake up.

Like, yes I know there are the typical fear of nuclear war, or plague and stuff.

But those things, you typically just die.

But imagine you are alive, but have zero access to the internet. Zero entertainment.

I'll be so bored to death, while also not have the courage to end it (because of survival instincts would probably overrule my desire to die). Its just torture.

A modern day Carrington Event would probably fuck us up pretty bad, so in a way, I'm right there with you

It was seriously bad!

And we're seriously unprepared, despite knowing it's a game of chance while we wait!
