"How can anarchists celebrate a life built on their individual capabilities alone, even if that means never experiencing insurrection?"

I cannot celebrate in a vacuum of self. Even if I celebrate alone, the celebration is a connection to some outside force - human or not. Practically, my advice is to question what makes you proud of yourself as an anarchist. I believe the bar should be set incredibly low. But I have a taste for pleasure and aspire to understand kinship. I would like to move on from the guilt of not being a warrior and the shame of being/not being an insurrectionist. I would like to move on from the guilt of no study and the shame of not publishing. I would like to move on from the guilt of potential and the shame of mediocrity. I would like to move on from the guilt of loneliness and the shame of isolation. Does this make sense? If so, please reflect. I am in the weeds myself ... or perhaps I am just trying to celebrate in isolation?

Also, good for everyone!
