Back to the Basics: Thriving, Not Just Surviving

There is beauty in softness.
Prioritize thriving. You were never created just to survive.
How are you really doing?
Back to the Basics is a casual, judgment-free zone for honest conversations, and we’re really glad you’re here!

    Been supporting WSPD through Twloha for quite some years now and as much as I am very honored to be able to participate in this good cause, I have yet to critique this year's phrase a little bit: "The world is not better without you" is nicely in line with the positive wording style e.g. "not _better_" instead of for example using the word "worse", yet it's, well not exactly sure if that's the right term, bad style, since one should try to avoid simple negation. The reason for this is that our brains intuitively skip the "not" part, especially prominent in children. Eg. telling a young child which is approaching a street to not go closer is a lot less effective than telling the child to stop. In an analog fashion I honestly I perceived this year's phrase as odd and unintuitively rolling of the tongue with me actually wondering for a short moment what I said. Though it certainly may just be like that because I am not a native speaker. On another note I also personally think that the phrases in the past had been more poetic and beautiful while being short and smart. This year's phrase feels a bit straight forward with its message. Either way, I am very very excited to get this year's WSPD sweatshirt! <3

    Yes I am. In fact, I just got done telling my parents itd be easier to just forget about me. I've put them through enough pain and worry with my mistakes these past few years. I need 1k to get my car out of impound, I have no idea if I'm approved yet for food stamps, no home, no friends to ask for help, and I'm probably looking at 50 days jail time coming up. I just, for some reason, don't even have the balls to kill myself.

    I recently have come across a very interesting phrase, "intergenerational trauma." That is to say, trauma that is or was inflicted in previous generations continues to inflict future or continued generations. This can or could pertain to mental health, and or physical conditions (I write "physical conditions," tentatively. I understand there have been studies that connect mental health to biological, generational factors).
