I’ve realized that lately, I’ve been watching a lot of them police bodycam videos on YouTube. It always makes me feel a little better about myself and some of the bad decisions I’ve made in life. I’m known to cave into bad impulses like bad spending and taking financial risks.

But, I at least do not turn my life upside down as many have had in these bodycam videos. We’re talking, people who’re too damn prideful and full of themselves that they turn a simple traffic stop into multiple felonies. As well as people just making a shitshow out of themselves when they’re drunk and getting into struggles with the police.

So the next time you’re feeling down, watch a few of these videos. Your life can’t be any more worse than the self-destructive lives demonstrated in those videos.

    Weed.

    Dad was a boozer so have yet to drink. Helps with enjoying monotony on weekends.

    Use to watch /r/tooktoomuch and /r/crazyfuckingvideos for the reasons you’re describing. Perspective and understanding that life could always be much worse helps tremdously.

      Don’t fall too much into monotony, though. I’m sure you have seen or heard South Park’s take on it.

      Keep on improving upon yourself.

      I went through my phases with various drugs and now I’m glad the worst thing I do anymore is alcohol. But I understand your reasons for not drinking and I respect your willingness to abstain from it. I come from a family with a history of alcoholism myself, but unfortunately I succumbed to both it, and other things as well. Stay strong, bro.
