A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I do understand. I am constantly fighting that myself. For me it's an aspirational statement, not necessarily one I always manage to live.
Same. I mostly try to be honest with myself as I found that copium rarely is helpful. We‘re in this mess now and we can either sulk or get going. I choose to get going day after day. Hows that for aspirational statements? :)
Excuse my lack of creativity, but "this is the way"
It isn't glamorous and it doesn't grab headlines, but that is how these problems get fixed.
Making to tomorrow is sometimes not a small undertaking.
Fair enough. In bad times, that is true for me as well. But these times pass eventually. At least they always have in the past.
