Thanks for asking. It's interesting to say the least. I sometimes wonder about my future. If I'm going to get married, have kids, have a better career path, but I try not to dwell on it. I take things one day at a time now and have become somewhat humble. I missed out on a job offering recently. Still looking for one that has better benefits than my previous one.
As for the ear stuff, I think I'm like you... applying acceptance to our predicament. Accept it and try to keep yourself busy as much as possible. Something is definitely working there. The less fucks given to it, the better off I am (pardon my language). It's easier said than done of course, but I've had some good stretches even on bad days. My tinnitus is variable AF and it's kinda tricky to get use to. If I compare my sound sensitivity now to what it was back in August, it's a miraculous turnaround, so I'm happy with that.
I'm coming to terms with some lifestyle changes that need to made to accommodate my ears somewhat. No headphones ever, ear protection when I'm outside, ordering take-out food more instead of dining out. I canceled my gym membership, it was a noisy gym, but more importantly... I realized I can cut my expenses greatly since I'm mainly into calisthenics anyways. All my workouts can easily be achieved in the house. I'm rekindling my love for video games. I pulled off a 12 hour gaming a session the other day which is something I haven't done since my early 20s.
It's a long journey ahead and I'm still learning as I go.
Appreciate you.
Estonians think (or want to think) that they belong to a rich and fancy Scandinavian/North European house but believe me, everybody (including ordinary Estonians) knows that they don't. So our politicians cry and cry and cry and blame Russia for everything. And we (most of ordinary people, Russians and Estonians) just laugh and laugh and laugh and continue surviving. Yep, we grind this shitty life.
Putin is beyond evil.
