/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Recently I had a revelation that totally changed how I see things. Like a ton of people, I was in the habit of posting my negative thoughts online to vent. But one day after venting, I had a thought strike me out of the blue: So what? My stomach hurts, so what? I have insomnia, so what? Now every time since then, whenever I've vented a small voice in my brain calls out "what are you gonna do about it?" and so I felt like an idiot every time I vented. Now instead of venting, I stop myself and ask "What is the nature of this problem? Is there anything I can do about it?"

With this mindset I've made strides on fixing my insomnia, I quit reading western internet entirely save for a couple good spaces like /jp/, and I'm finally moving forward in life again. It would be unrealistic to expect this post to "fix" anyone but I hope it reaches someone out there and steers you in the right direction.
