Why Bother?

Daily writing prompt
What bothers you and why?
View all responses

Oh, FFS.

Really?

Sitting at home, watching/reading the news? No, no… I’m good, thank you!

Couldn’t think of a more generalized question, could you?

Thankfully, I’m off work this week, so the answer is…

Drumroll, please.

This is where my mindset is at – now to only teleport there ASAP

Not a damn thing.

And I’d like to keep it that way.

Of course, I could list a zillion and one things that bothers me – the state of the world, poverty, human trafficking, how corrupt healthcare is, the lack of care in general for our fellow man, and the ever-rising costs of all the things, the stupid hot weather, among others but…we all need a bit of a break from the insanity at times, don’t we?

Take care of yourself, and let’s hope for a peaceful week ahead.

Thank you, as always, for reading.

You are appreciated.

      • well like my crew and I discussed this morning, in combat operations you have things that act as “phase” markers or events, kind of like a if then, then that logic statement of sorts, be the event to be fake or real,
        it is a direction changing phase marker. lots happening relating to strategy and all of us are just bystandards watching the real time exposure of lies and conmen
        across the globe
        in every country…

      • Like a false flag?
        But yes…no doubt there is a ton of corruption going on, everywhere, in every corner.
        That’s why I’m ready to go hide in my mountain respite!

      • well that shit yesterday, could be under some definitions a false flag, generally a FF is a event based in distraction. It’s intended to distract or change a direction or narrative. Unless you have read the military manual Psychology Operations I wouldn’t expect a common civilian to understand philosophy and terminology.

        Safe to assume, unless you see it, smell it, hear it, touch it, or taste it, IT just might be
        TOTAL BULLSHIT!!

      • Well, I don’t think you need to be in any kind of higher level intelligence to know when something is pure bullshit, if you’re even just a little bit touch of insightful lol

  3. I didn’t even last a week trying the provided prompts. They were so inane and didn’t appear to have improved much since I last checked them out. Okay… Not at all. All milquetoast all the time.

    But it is fun to read others’ output based on the daily prompt.

    Inspire me, they did not (in my best Yoda imitation).

    • 🤣 Yoda…
      Yes they are far from inspiring.
      “Milquetoast” is such an appropriate term. I really want to come up with my own daily prompts, but that’s just called “writing what the hell you want” hahah

  6. That’s right. Keep it that way! You’re obviously not oblivious, just wise enough to replenish when replenishment time is here! ❤

    • Thank you 😊 I want to say I’m hyper-aware of lots of things, unfortunately, and it’s often a need to just shut it down at times…to not be so “in tune” or “attached,” you know? We all need that. Here’s to replenishment ❤️ (the heat isn’t helping!)

  7. Perfect response. Why add more aggravation and frustration to an already aggravating and frustrating time? It will just get you fired up and remind the reader how aggravating and frustrating things are. See? Now I’m aggravated and frustrated. 😂😂 Love the post and the pictures.
