Current Events > Remember to step away from the chaos every now and then. For your mental health.

(+) Yeah! (+)

There's a lot of crazy shit going on in the world, and thanks to technology we can know all about it.

The two major wars going on, human rights being threatened, whatever bullshit our police is doing, just to name a few subjects. While it's certainly important to be aware with what's going on in the world, there are also times where you should take a break from it all.

Our news cycle thrives off us being angry and scared. Or both. Constantly. That's how they get their views and clicks. You could cure the common cold, and get less attention than the next mass shooting.

So please, consider just not following all the chaos going on when you're feeling down. Do that for just a week, and see how you feel. Now this isn't to say that all those awful things that are happening aren't happening or that they don't matter, but there's so many terrible things out there that you have no power to do anything about. Hearing about it does nothing to benefit your life. Nothing. All the shootings America has had, at which point have you gone "I feel better after hearing this news"?

TLDR: Take an ooccasional break from the news that only serves to ruin your day.

u know what doesnt get to take a break? death and destruction.

stay vigilant

You don't need to "take a break" for this, if you do it will all come back to you as soon as you return. You just need to avoid the toxicity and negativity. It's not difficult to spot, but you may have to force yourself to not dive back into it again.

Yeah, people sometimes get too invested in shit they really dont have any control over >_>
