It's hard out there. *sits in the pond too*

It'll get better. sometimes it's just nice to be sad instead of pretending things are doing well. Therapeutic

Such a drastic shift from your life-affirming green thumb plant bear messages.

We the strangers in the audience can't offer much more than that frog does, I supposed.
Hold on, and may the rains cease and let your climb back out, and use all the water
to grow stronger!

Things have been a bit rough this past month or so. Things were pretty rosy in comparison for a while haha. But things will get better. I don't expect anyone to do anything outside of what the frog may be doing, since inner struggles can't be fixed by anything on the outside(aside from some fixes that would help society as a whole and not just me alone. dont ask me what those are tho. i'm just a bear)

I don't know what is it about this year, but it feels there has been
an deluge of personal and group tragedies anywhere I look:
people losing near ones, people struggling to get
basic healthcare or mental care, trans recognition,
people losing faith in their creative abilities,
and just in general. It feels oppressive
like it's never been before, even
discounting the news from
Gaza and Ukraine.

But somehow, people are still managing, amazingly, heroically,
even though I wish they didn't have to pull the Bride in Kill Bill
digging herself out of her own grave just to survive.

I hope you will see the sunshine again soon.
You're not just any bear – you're the one and only weird plant bear
who draws all sorts of wonderful things, from the pastoral serenity,
to the brutality of carnivore feeding and fiery monsters.

Ah sorry to hear your down dude. Things'll get better, they always do. But that doesn't mean today doesn't suck and you shouldn't be allowed to feel down or sad. Hope days go better for you soon.

I appreciate this :) It's nice to know others agree that it's okay to be sad. Sometimes it's just... that way. <3

I reckon it's part of the normal human emotions, it's just keeping an eye out to make sure your not always sad.
