I woke up in the middle of the night and said aloud to myself: Just because you can't control the ocean doesn't mean you don't steer the boat. ...so if anybody else needed to hear that today, the void says hi.

    @vlrny@disabled.social It feels like the ocean is white water rapids lately, but even so your point is good.

    @vlrny@disabled.social The closest I came to death was a near drowning in Class IV rapids. I only survived because the ice cold water sent me into shock, preventing me from fighting the current. My only option was to let it take me and try to work with the water. And it worked. I got back to shore, vision mostly gone from oxygen deprivation. I survived and made a full recovery after only a day. All because instead of trying to control the river, I chose how to steer.

    @vlrny@disabled.social Bucky Fuller liked to point out how ancient sailing humanity spread against the prevailing winds, not with it.

    @vlrny@disabled.social Thanku. Definitely needed to hear this. Because often times I give up steering the boat in frustration
