I can’t explain it fully but since couple of years I have this constant feeling that something big is about to happen that is going to change everything.

It’s a bit like being a WW1 soldier waiting in the trenches for an inevitable attack that doesn’t come.

I have adhd so I know the ‘waiting mode’ and this is sort of similar. Honestly I just want it to happen already so we can get this over with no matter what it is.

There is this atmosphere that no matter what you plan for or what you intend to do will ultimately not matter because of some future big changes.

It’s really annoying and only fully cured temporarily by brain muddying amount of weed or to a lesser extent various absorbing hobbies. Or making many hasty and bold decisions in spirit of “now or never”.

Maddening stuff to be honest. I hope whatever must happen will get on with itself already and rather sooner than later.

    It probably came within a week whether they were the attacking or defending side.

    The feeling now should more closely be before WW1 started. Some shit is going to happen, and WW1 casus belli (an archduke assassination???) is something that requires a tinder box to spark and explode. We’ve got the tinderbox part.
