I've been feeling really low. I'm finding the editing unruly and exhausting. So I looked at my free will astology horoscope and lol:

"You're not living in Iraq or Sudan or the Congo, and you don't have to walk five miles a day with a jug on your head to fetch the water you need, and you're not so bereft of food that you have to resort to eating worms and tree bark. So how bad could your problems be? The single best thing you can do to start fixing your life's small glitches is to feel waves of gratitude for how many resources you have and how lucky you are. The second best thing would be to aggressively take your worried attention off yourself and turn your mind toward people who could really benefit from your help. As you carry out those two assignments, your dilemmas will begin to solve themselves as if by magic."

OK, my life is just not that bad. I am incredibly privileged in many ways. I am grateful for that. And I should concentrate more on being grateful that I am doing exactly what I want to be doing and less on OMG I AM LETTING MY DREAM DIE BEFORE MY EYES...

How are all of you doing? Tell me about it.

Six years ago I started fandom_help and we only really helped one or two fandomers. I notice posts nearly every day in which one person or other needs something because life has gotten messy or unfortunate.

So I'm thinking about maybe using this comm as place to list auctions and fund raisers or maybe even as a place to do some kind of microcredit kind of thing.

Someone talk to me about this please? Tell me what you think.
