Wow, it's been a while since I was on here last. I don't believe anyone reads these blogs of mine, but if you do, I will be forever grateful. Anyways, I came on here to say: If you feel lonely, I'm here for you. I know I'm a stranger on the internet, and please do be cautious of ANYONE on the internet whom you do not know in person, but I will listen to fun little stories you have to tell me. If you're going through a hard time, just know you're not alone. I've most likely been there too. I hope times get better.
I know how hard and dystopian things feel right now, both in politics, but also a lot of society (oddly, not oddly, enough). But, try to find things you love, things you can create, things to do off of screens. I know, easier said than done, but I really suggest you give it a shot, try to be off your phone as much as you can for a week. Music and Google Maps (or something like that, if you use it, to get around) or anything along those lines don't count. But, just see what happens, how you feel, what you do.
In the age of A.I. taking over, it might feel like it's taking over, and you can't do anything about it, and there's no point in creating. I would argue and say "There VERY MUCH is a point in creating. People are now yearning ("...As a kid, I yearned for the mines") for human creation, something that actually has feeling, thought, time, and effort put into it. Something the creator of it can say, 'Yep, I spent a week on it' or 'I spent many hours on this.' Honestly, it doesn't even have to be hours, as long as you had fun making it, learned something from it (most likely, even if it's subconscious), and you spent time and effort on it, I guarantee at least one person is going to like it."
Although I'm still in high school and have much to learn from life, I would say I've had a VERY vast learning experience. I've lived in three different continents and moved more than ten times that. I currently go to a Waldorf School. Everyone says these schools are cults or something of the sort. They're not, sometimes they seem like it, but they just celebrate holidays and stuff from all sorts of religions and cultures, it's fun :P And I can tell you ALL about what art is, but that's a tangent for another day. Thank you, reader, for reading my... four paragraph tangent! Hope you have a good rest of your day! :)

Love the message!!! This is why i have started trying to be more intentional with everything i do now. It’s too easy to tell AI to do things for you, but i have been largely avoiding it. Sometimes we just need to get up and DO things! Ty for the reminder~
Aw, this is so sweet ;D
You're welcome!! I'm so glad I could remind you :P I hope you make something beautiful sometime in the future (whether that be in a few minutes, hours, days, weeks, etc) <3
Have a great day/night! :3
