Being out of touch
I recommend forgiving yourself for not watching the news, for seeking bliss in ignorance

I honestly avoid watching the news, not to be ignorant or anything but i just can’t make myself stress anymore about how f**ked up is the world nowdays because when i used to do so, without feeling i was stressed and anxious over nothing … i am grateful for whatever i have now and i hope i will be better in the future. I don’t know how i can explain this without making it “selfish” or unbothered about the others because it’s the opposite but for the sake of my mental health, avoiding the news was a must.

If there's nothing you can immediately do or influence, why bother making yourself miserable for the sake of "being informed"?

IGNORANCE IS BLISS
or at least pretending. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to anything, shrug, and keep it moving.

Learning and awareness
Saw a post on here that said willful ignorance is hot/in and I’d argue that it’s waaaay hotter to be aware of what’s going on in the world around us. ESPECIALLY during scary times like this. There is a big difference between taking care of your emotions and being dangerously unaware! By staying ignorant and avoiding the news you stay compliant, so while it’s hard, I instead urge you to remain active, read, learn, teach, and engage!!! whether it be digitally, with friends/family, locally, or globally -community is key 💕💕💕

Lets not jump To conclusions
i saw something a tad bit politically upsetting this morning through a reposted TikTok, and when i looked up the story in the news, what the TikTok said about this political issue could not be substantiated, but only implied and rumored. I’m kinda peeved because short form media has really allowed people to become media illiterate and spread things that are either lies or unsupported claims, because they know people aren’t going to read a 3-4 paragraph article on a news site and disseminate information on their own. Something I have learned in therapy is to kinda look at more things in life as neutral, and not go into black and white thinking before making a decision. Take time to act on something (when it’s possible) and take things at face value most days. Being in an elevated state of emotion when doing something is not usually good. I just wish other people could do that today, because sometimes it feels like I’m the only person in my realm who can.

Refutation is exhausting. What if everyone was right and everything was true? Big load off my back honestly

12 hours of applause
I play this 12 hours of applause when painting or writing it helps me feel encouraged. Nobody applauds at an art show which has always been a bummer to me
