Kindness seems out of style right now. everyone seems more self absorbed and selfish nowadays. The best parts of life are spent with others or for others. the more you feed into the little voice in your head that gets angry at any annoyance the more your soul erodes. You should hold the door open for people and be a good listener. you should care about people you will never meet. Doing things you donāt really feel like doing to make others happy is what life comes down to Sometimes and thats ok. itāll all come back around. when kindness comes back in style you should be able to say āIāve been on thatā

I also have been feeling a lot of this recentlyā I feel such a nihilism surrounding everything right now. My friends often feel more distant from me, or rather I more distant from them. I think people have been subconsciously forced and influenced to desensitize themselves to life completely because of all the terror and destruction in the world. And it breaks my heart. But yesterday I was riding a very crowded bus and witnessed strangers taking care of each other; offering up seats, picking up belongings others had dropped, spotting and holding out hands to older folks who needed help walking. I have been savoring every time I get to witness something like this now, it feels so real and special. And I try to love love love care care care as much as I possibly can!

Yes, a lot of people still care. We've kinda built a society that burns people out for caring. And when resources are this hard to come by it can be hard for overworked and underpaid people to show it. But there are a lot of people who still care. Sometimes it's not the people who you expect. Be kind and caring and you will get that energy back.
Say hi to your neighbors. Join volunteer groups. Find clubs or classes for things you're passionate about. Go out of your way to do things for your friends. Take them to the airport. Bring them food if you make some. Support people when they do cool things, attend small shows and support small businesses.
Don't do it with the intention of getting it back and make sure you take care of yourself too, but the more of that energy you put out the more you will see it reflected back to you. It's so important to keep caring even when it's hard. It's never hopeless. The smallest things can really change people days.

sometimes people have hidden troubles and they can come off rude, and sometimes theyāre just a snot. either way the cliche ākill them with kindnessā applies here and even if they donāt brighten up, it feels good to know you were the nice person in the interaction.
just ranting after my serving shift lol

I got really into geopolitics when I became depressed about domestic politics and it has made a really big impression on me. itās always good to have an understanding of the world around you
