Your reminder that you have no obligation to take in every single drama or negative event in the world. You have no obligation to look at every news story or keep tabs on all the latest tragedies and/or politics. You have no obligation to subject yourself to constant negativity and problems. Take care of yourself first and foremost, and if you can't or don't want this much negativity in your life, then just... don't. Cut it off however you need to. Stop watching/reading/generally exposing yourself to news as much if you need. You don't have to be constantly looking at or talking about the problems of the world. Not every negative story needs your witnessing, not every bad thing in the world needs your emotional responses. Now more than ever, always, always put your own mental health and safety before any of these things. You deserve to be happy and to spend your energy on things in your life that you can control. Stay safe out there all.
