Two tired mice in a pail of milk, They swam around as best they could. But hope began to fade - what should they do? One wanted to drown itself, But its friend said, "No, no, no, For hope only triumphs, maybe, As long as we keep searching for it. Keep searching for it.

  • I have a family who loves me, and I bring joy and happiness to their lives. I can make their lives better, by being their for them. That’s the meaning of my life. It’s not what the world can do for me, but what I can do for the world.

    I’m working hard to give my family a life I did not have, and I didn’t have my family, I would not have a meaning with my life. I don’t care for wealth or buying fancy things, I just care for improving the lives around me. I couls try to find more meaning in life itself, and I am trying to, but for now, this is enough for me.




  • I’ll try my luck here, because you people are really smart.

    As a kid I sometimes had this kind of derealization (never heard about term before this post) feeling, but my surroundings kind of changed form. It was like my surroundings got further away from me or zoomed out. I could sit at a table and suddenly I got this weird feeling that the table and everything around me got smaller and it was the weirdest sensation. I could look at my hands and they looked like they were not a part of me and huge compared to e.g. the table. Maybe it’s derealization, I don’t know. I couldn’t snap out of it, even though I was fully aware of it happening to me. Sounds became distant too and my vision blurred as well.

    I’ve perhaps experienced it while being an adult as well. I have being disassociating my entire childhood, so if there is any correlation, it would make sense. Does that sound like derealization??

    Edit: the more I read about, the more it definitely seems like derealization. I think what I’m describing is the Dolly zoom effect
