minus-squaretetris11@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoI have one, weak-ass belief that I stand by, and I think everyone unconsciously stands by: All you can do is take a step forward. If your situation is hell, standing still or going back is not an option. Just take a step, and see how it goes. Then take another. And so forth. Weak stoicy bullshit I know, but it does remove the stress of uncertainty in a situation.

minus-squaretetris11@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoStanding still gives the world control and adds to your own uncertainty. Going back is physically impossible. All you can do is move forward.
