Gonna be real
If I didn't consistently shut out anything and everything going on right now, I'd go literally insane
It's not that I don't care. I can't allow myself to care, for my own self-protection and ability to have any resemblance of a "normal" day
It's too much to handle running on reserve

i had to tell my partner to turn off or at least pause the news when i'm around because i just can't stomach it anymore.
the past 5 years have been heavily marred by despair because i've spent them observing major historical events nonstop.
I can't believe I had to essentially re-learn to be selfish. What I was feeling was starting to morph from sympathy into toxic empathy, and that's just…not healthy. Putting the needs of so many others over your own is a suffocating way to live, and not something I'd wish on anyone.
