-
@yodelerty YIFFING
-
@foxgopher THE GREATEST JOY IN LIFE
-
@yodelerty I NEVER KNEW UNTIL NOW
-
@yodelerty Oh and by the way. I found my passion and found a direction in school after flunking out... twice. Don't give up. You're no more useless than the air we breathe.
-
@foxgopher LET'S GO FOREVER
-
@tenebarius Hmm. I'll think about that. Thanks.
-
@yodelerty FOREVER YIFF
-
@foxgopher MY NEW BAND NAME
-
@yodelerty PERFECT
-
@yodelerty But that last comparison, let me explain it. Air isn't visible. It has no known destination, yet it still goes. It has its place, even if that place isn't "normal". In a way, air never really finds its home, it always moves and changes, but almost anywhere it goes, it is needed and is useful. Of course, this comparison isn't perfect by any means, but you understand what I mean by it, right? If a non-sentient mish-mash of gasses is useful, then how much more useful are you?
-
@tenebarius I don't feel useful really. No one needs me in order to survive, like air.
-
@yodelerty You don't know that.
-
@tenebarius I don't see why anyone would.
-
@yodelerty It's easy to get lost in the hugeness that is the world, but something I always remind myself is that I'm changing history right now, with every breath. Start with baby steps, and before you know it you'll be changing the world (even if it's just a single life being saved.)
-
@yodelerty You might not see that, but sometimes valuable things and people can be just out of our sight.
-
@tenebarius You may be changing the world but I'm not.
-
@yodelerty But whose to say that you won't?
-
@tenebarius Me. I don't see any scenario in which I make a difference.
-
@yodelerty You can't see much from a valley. Have to climb the mountain first.
-
@tenebarius What if I'm trapped in the valley with no hope of rescue?
-
@yodelerty I hate to be cliche, but there's never no hope. The only time there isn't hope is when you make it so.
-
@tenebarius It's hard to see myself as anything but hopeless when I look at how directionless my life is.
-
@yodelerty Just wanna ask. What are you good at, what are some things you like to do?
-
@tenebarius I'm good at math and I like to play video games.
-
@yodelerty Any good at socializing? Do you like to talk?
-
@tenebarius I like to talk but my social skills are... poor at best. I don't know what to say when I'm talking.
-
@yodelerty Have you ever tried organizing what you'll say beforehand?
-
@tenebarius Like when giving a presentation or a speech?
-
@yodelerty Or teaching a lesson.
-
@tenebarius I stutter like mad and trip over my words.
-
@yodelerty What about being a tutor?
-
@tenebarius I can't even teach people how to use the computer at work.
-
@yodelerty But with practice...? You have to realize that you probably won't be good at things at first. It's a matter of learning and practicing.
-
@tenebarius Maybe. On the other hand, tutoring requires the ability to talk well to people I've just met with confidence and I always struggle with that.
-
@yodelerty I'm not saying you have to do that, but it might be something to consider. Ever hear the story of Demosthenes?
-
@tenebarius Can't say that I have.
-
@yodelerty He was a Roman man who overcame his inability to speak with years of hard practice. He had a serious speech impediment that he ended up beating by practicing speaking over the ocean with stones in his mouth.
-
@tenebarius Congratulations to him for having that kind of drive.
-
@yodelerty You could do it. I believe you could. Maybe not that specifically, but you can overcome your situation.
-
@tenebarius I have no motivation.
-
@yodelerty You have to get it somehow. Even if it's from anger or unhappiness, you must find something that drives you.
-
@tenebarius I literally have no idea how. Not anger or sadness or pain does anything to give me a drive. It's pathetic.
-
@yodelerty And that's the hardest part about it. You still need to press on.
-
@tenebarius How unfortunate.
