sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

When my needs go unmet,
I’m reminded: God didn’t design a person, place, or title to fulfill me.
He designed my soul to need Jesus.
So if you’re discouraged today by unmet needs,
Maybe you’re not being punished—maybe you’re being invited.
Invited to need the only One who never fails.
If that’s you—
You need to meet my Jesus.

I'm not an economics expert, but it seems to me that the silver lining (to the extent their is one, considering they will likely starve us to death), will be that people will immediately stop paying their local real estate taxes, and income taxes - it will force government at all levels to implode. That's a good thing. People will realize they didn't need 90% of what their towns/state/feds were "providing" taxpayers through their confiscatory property taxes. And good luck finding courts that…
Banks and govt will use administrative procedures to confiscate accounts and other property for back taxes just like they did in the 1930s. They might even accuse you of being a "domestic terrorist". Good luck finding a court (and hiring a lawyer) to challenge their action!
I'm certainly not advocating for anarchy - but the government is on the path to destroying itself - because WE are the government, the PEOPLE are the government - when those leading this country (our government) destroy the people, it destroys itself.
