365 Day Mood Project

Day 12 of this project was April 7, 2026. Now, to be honest, I don’t want to write a damn thing about this day. However, we’re all here, and the whole point of my blogging is to keep myself accountable to keep going, even when things are dark. So we’re here.

Now, on this day, we all woke up to the lovely surprise of the President of the United States threatening genocide, the consequences of which could have been a global energy crisis, Iran could have attacked the cables in their gulf that are responsible for the global internet, or who knows what else. It would have been bad. So, the sane people who still populate this country got the privilege of sitting with a pit of anxiety in their stomachs, wondering if this was going to trigger a string of catastrophes we wouldn’t come back from. It’s as close to the Cuban Missile Crisis as I think we’re going to get in our lifetime.

I have absolutely no fucking advice on how to deal with that. Who would? How can you prepare for that?

So here’s what I did on that day. I smoked a bunch of weed in the morning. I skipped half a day of work. I crashed out on the internet. If I weren’t so deep in no contact with my exes to the point where I don’t even know what their contact info is anymore, I would have been digging that shit up, seeing who wanted to get laid one last time. I went to the park. I smoked a cigarette for the first time in a long time. I went with my friends to get drunk. I went home. I talked to my parents. Then learned about the ceasefire.

I guess all I have to say about this day is thank GOD I have people who care around me. It wasn’t my best day, but frankly? If not in the face of this, then when?

Now I’m writing this the day after, and I don’t think I’m going to respond well for a while. The point is that we keep trying. We keep pushing. We let the people around us know that we love them.

And maybe call your representatives to vote for articles of impeachment, because what the fuck was that? We all deserve better.

Love you, mean it.
