i am not proud that i managed to stop caring about politics enough that i was able to absorb the gutpunch of reading the news this morning without it actually hitting me that bad because i refuse to process it, but man.
maybe my continued posting can be a nice distraction.
it's very easy for me to think this but i think also that it is necessary to remain optimistic and cheerful even in a very bleak world. when we all lose the ability to be that, the world we care for is already lost. something like that
i didn't actually stop caring about politics, what i did was i decided that the constant rush of fear and anger and pain that i got from reading political news on twitter all the time was just too much, that it was going to take my attention away from what really matters to me
there will come a better day, and if we lose hope in advance then we won't be there for it
