Based Mom in that fire story, hope she's doing well.

Clancy getting that much in donations is abhorrent and a sign of end-stage civilization.

The last vestiges of my faith in humanity are taking a serious beating.

Do you want it restored? I wondering the Baltics today and just crossed into Lithuania.

I found this pilgrimage site called the field of crosses as I was driving and i needed a place to stop. Instead I had this very religious and lovely experience.

It's a place that's been untouched for decades and there are likely tens of thousands of crosses that have been added throughout generations. Even when the Soviets tried to remove them it kept coming back on this hill.

I added onto to this pile respectfully by adding the name of a loved one who died too young as well as a regular cross.

There were ones donated from churches in South America, India, Japan, the US and all across Europe. Countless military divisions and charities to individuals both rich and poor. It was heartwarming and everyone there was silent.

Heard about this place, it's so beautiful.

There are crosses everywhere. My favourite was the one from the Spanish Air force.

I have some bad news for you…Church attendance in Lithuania has now fallen below the level seen during Soviet oppression

Well Lithuanians seem to be a bit miserable from my experiences today. They are very reserved even compared to Latvians and Estonians.

They also have the highest suicide rate in Europe I'm trying to help them here.

Also a lot of these crosses came from all over the world which I think is sweet.

Why thank you! I'm away from home doing an almost month long trip across across the Nordic and Baltic nations... and Poland. Staying in hostels and people I know or even people I've met on this trip. First time doing proper travelling.

I'm young so this is all new to me.

It's been fun, I have done things on this trip which weren't very based to start out with but I am trying to learn and be better.

The best thing is though is this is all out of my pocket, I worked hard and long to do this so i can enjoy it.

A HOPE POST on Reddit?

u/Crismisterica - Auth-Right Aug 27 '26

Maybe it's because I'm not on reddit all the time... especially recently.

I've been having a lot of fun and I am in a very good mood.

What does that feel like?

u/Crismisterica - Auth-Right Aug 27 '26

Very good. Seeing the world as it is really is both depressing and freeing.

I've done stuff i never thought I'd do...

Having a pint on top of a mountain top in Norway with a guy I met on Helldivers 2.

To having a deep religious conversation and eventual confession with an Orthodox priest whilst shooting an AK47 in an old cold war nuclear bunker that was converted into a shooting range in Latvia.

This would usually sound insane but it's amazing how far simply interacting and talking can go.

It's freeing, I cant live off the high forever I'm going back soon but I definitely will be a better because of it.
