I used to come on /r9k/ regularly and I know that even though the board has gotten a lot more "normie" recently that there's still the subsection of depressed young adults who I used to identify with. And motivation is hard, so I really do hope this can help someone a bit.

Is that a monarch butterfly, OP?
I took a picture of a monarch on a walk the other day.
It's pretty dope.
Want to see it?

It was just relaxing on some vines.
Being a dope butterfly.
another way in success is "don't give a fuck and shit will come to you", trust me, it works.
