There is a line between acknowledging the horrible reality, and being completely submerged in that and can't see the flowers next to the dirt road, and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a similar tendency as you described, but with my partner I'm able to notice that a bit of positivity I lack is essential to survive every day. A lot of people have traumatic pasts but move forward by seeing the hope in the hopeless, enjoying the simple things in life when they have the means to do so. I would say becoming positive and hopeful should be a prerequisite to getting into a relationship, otherwise you only have a shaky foundation and both of you will fall over.
I see, thanks for the clarification! May we never receive a $100k bill :D
Agreed with DistressedDad@lemmy.ca, you can see the long distance as opportunity to focus on yourself and people around you more, and enjoy the last few years at school, it's a time you can learn so much from so many people. I had similar challenges, but the socializing efforts I made to make a few friends save my ass at a few critical times.
That's too bad, thanks for sharing. For now I'm using Boost's built in Lemmy search but it's not as smart as querying reddit results from Google or even reddit's search itself. Hopefully someone will rewrite & revive this project.
