Start over.
Be silent and stare loudly. Embrace your insignificance.
Indulge in things that help you sleep good. Make friends with the void; give it a nickname.
Tell jokes that make you laugh. Accept boredom but only on your own terms. Make things badly.
Blend up your past failures and eat them on toast so you can incorporate their latent power.
Relish the embarrassment of your own idiocy.
Give up.
Put the bullshit in a box.

Remember that you’re part of nature, too.
Use more profanity.
Pray.
