Idk why my mom got upset at me for making songs with lines like “This cruel world” or “The darkness of the skies”

I just want some catharisis¹ okay, what’s wrong with that?

(¹Am I even using this word correctly?)

I think my parents are just boring and doesn’t appreciate art lol…

    I’d say the kid was paying attention to what’s happening around the world.

    I’m wary of happy people, they’re either not paying attention to the world, or they don’t care. Being content is ok if you’re not being bombed, have food to eat, bed to sleep in etc but happy means you’re possibly a narcissist.

      Okay I’m gonna devil’s advocate for my parents: Does growing up in CCP-land and growing up with the idea of “you can’t do anything about politics” engrained in you make you a narcissist?

      I mean the alt-timeline would be that my parents became student protesters and um…

      oh…

      yeah…

      In that case I’d never been born either… lol

        That sounded like a strange take to me. Frankly, I don’t think of narcissists as being happy.
