Thank you, Godzilla
Saying “my life stinks” when things go wrong is self deprecating, defeatist, and fills you with sadness.
Saying “this isn't the life Godzilla wants for me” is motivating, makes you think about Godzilla, and reminds you that Godzilla cares about you.

A nighttime scene, with silhouetted trees in the lower corners of the photos, and bright green auroras across the horizon, with some pink and red pillars above, almost blocking the Milky Way, visible vertically across the sky.Same idea as the previous photo, but now the  green in the lower part of the sky is also reflected by a small pond. More bright green auroras with red and pink pillars above, the Milky Way sticking up out of the middle, and a bit of green reflected in a small pond with silhouetted trees.
