    But that requires you knowing what makes you happy. I’ve been depressed so long that almost nothing makes me happy anymore - especially with Nero actively burning down Rome all around us.

      I totally get that. Trust me, I’ve so been there (and the current climate doesn’t help).

      It took me a while to realize that 9 times out of 10, what brings me happiness is listening to a song I like. Sometimes even a sad song. Something that can make me feel an emotion.

      We need to do small - tiny - things that bring us some modicum of joy on a regular basis, otherwise the bad guys win.

      I refuse to lay down my arms, and a part of that is continuing to fight for moments of happiness.

      Existing is resisting.
