Can't handle news anymore

I used to be such a political and news junky and now I can't even watch it for five minutes without anxiety 🫤 Can I just live in a world with no events?

Yeah, as soon as I start talking politics to my girlfriend, she gets depressed and says we need to move.

In general, I live by the mantra: "we didn't start the fire". Ultimately, the world's always been a heaping pile of toxic waste and the only things you can really control is how you live your life and how you treat other people.

It's important to stay informed, to try to do right by your neighbors and your community, but it's more important to stay true to yourself. If you live by your principles, none of the headlines can shake you from your life's work
