How to Fight the Post-Apocalyptic Blues

 During and after the collapse of our current civilization, there are sure to be situations that bring you down. Have the mutants captured your love interest? Have armed marauders made off with your food supply? Was the radio signal you followed to its source hoping to find other humans just a branch tapping the "send" key repeatedly on an abandoned set in the whistling wind?

Look on the bright side! Here are a few thoughts to keep you going:

  • Since there is no gasoline and nobody can drive a car anymore, you didn't have to fight traffic to get to the office. In fact, all the office towers are broken ruins of girders and shattered glass, overgrown with jungle vegetation and inhabited by vicious carnivores. One less worry for you! 
  • You didn't have to answer any email today. You won't tomorrow. Probably, you'll never see another email in the short time you have before your early death.
  • Speaking of health, you won't ever have to dispute another medical bill. It is certainly easier to die violently at the hands of cannibals than it is to deal with an insurance company.
  • You'll never have to call another "help" line.
  • You'll never have to worry about anything related to a smartphone or "app" again, because they're all dead forever.
These are just a few of the happy thoughts that can get you through those rough patches. For even more fun, make up your own list of worries you no longer have!

I want to be accepted as normal as I get older. I like being alive and I want people not to think I'm almost done being so because I am 57 years old with, gasp, wrinkles!   It has become glaringly apparent that women don't know how to do this.  What We Currently Do  Step, the first: Upload a selfie with the following caption: "THIS IS WHAT [insert your age here] LOOKS LIKE." Preferably, the photo should be shot with a full-length mirror and you wearing some sort of casual athletic apparel and your bestest ever resting bitch face.  Wait for the first of the thousand papercuts to arrive. "You look [a number that is at least a decade more than you have shared you are]"   Repost the whole thing to say, "this is what I was told when I shared my age"  Wait for the "support" team to arriv...
