What phrase gets you through trying times?
(piefed.blahaj.zone)
"fuck"
End of thread, we have a winner
ha, I know it's crude or the "wrong answer" - but it's also what's probably most true for me 😆
Oh I love that question!
What if it all works out? ✨
This one is so helpful for me, especially when things get really tough. Then it’s easy to see all the negatives, but this phrase shifts my perspective and lets me think of a more positive future 🌟
That's a really nice one, it changes how you think which is great
i really like this!
Lemmy answers itself
"Well, shit."
Alternately, Tolkien quote:
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Same honestly.
Also, I loved the meme that went around when this gained popularity during covid where Gandalf's reply was "LMAO well it has" 🤣
Or, in its original formulation: "این نیز بگذرد" (īn nīz bogzarad).
This is a very ancient piece of calming wisdom.
That's an excellent meme
Embrace the impermanence.
Do I really want to add to the aggression in the world?
Someday, [X] will happen for the last time.
They're good! I really like the final one I'll use that myself
"Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end". Yes I know this doesn't make much sense when you think about it, but it works. Because it virtually always works out OK in the end.
omgg that's the exact saying my mom always says and it's so true! very cheesy but has really helped me when I've felt I've hit rock bottom!
OK, so now that I've had the chance to dig in my books, this one stands out from Zhuangzi:
To a mind that is still, the entire universe surrenders.
They'll be dead in the blink of a geological eye.
But I blink a bit faster than that 😭
I quite like the one from the dysfunctional horse show: "It gets easier - but you gotta do it every day - that's the hard part" :))
“Wanna be sexed up abusive lesbians” I love Class of ‘09 lol
These things happen.
The best you can do is the best you can do, and people ask for your input because they don't know either.
It is what it is

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
