I peek in here and there, sometimes too much though. Same ole, same ole.
Overall this year, I have done incredibly well with tremendously decreasing my consumption of stressful topics (as well as any topics, pages etc).
2025 is almost over. How well have I done regarding protecting my peace from the online world:
I would give myself a B ✨✨✨✨
In this rotten age of social media, there honestly is no separation between stressful topics and non-stressful topics. People are toxic, humans are trash, so any topic, it can be about watching grass grow or watching paint dry or something. Too many idiots online can turn anything negative, so it's best to not only avoid traditionally stressful spaces but avoid the Internet as a whole.
My few exceptions, the movie section on Reddit, lactose intolerance section,🤒😄 Wordpress help and Blogging help topics- things of that nature go well for me when they are moderated to stay 100% on topic.
Anyway, regarding political happenings, chile it is baddddd out here.
And I want to be like "In their muthafuckin' faces. That's what all you hoes get for..."
That "told your dumb ass so" felt good at first. It really doesn't even matter though.
My family and I were like, just wait until January 21st, they gonna see.
Now someone be like, "Ummm don't he just got 1 more year?" Lol I be like no 3 more years.
I guess.
Either way. All this shit is whack. And not changing.
I have never felt American, never loved nor liked this hoe ass country, never felt like I belonged here.
But I am here, and when I say here I mean on Earth. That's what matters. Because it's not about the man-made borders, not about the man-made name of the land that was stolen. It's not about the land and culture my ancestors were stolen from.
All of that is my story, and it's sacred. But my focus from here is just about me. It's as simple as that.
I am enough to worry about. Just me
And then there are people that I love more than life, and that's my daughter, husband and the rest of my family.
Where is the room for anything else? All this noise in this world, is not about me. It affects me , it affects all of us of course. But listen, after being an activist and hating the world since age 12, being depressed about human rights issues...
Listen, I'm resting. (Tricia Hersey is an absolute genius. Her work is titled Rest is Resistance).
Me, I'm completely done. Not only am I resting but baby I am healing. And healing takes so much energy and more work than I ever thought. It's actually pretty scary hoping I never see another story that will send me into crisis mode. Because I know it's almost unrealistic.
I know who I am, I know why I am here. And I love the way I was born and I love the family I was born into. Those things are out of our control and are about chance and fate.
No matter what happens in the world, please don't let it hit us personally of course, but no matter what happens on a larger scale I'm not gonna have anything to do with it. I'm just me. That's all.
My family and I have our core beliefs and we know we are 100% correct to believe in respect for people, animals, and the Earth.
There is nothing to debate. And no need to continue to make oneself sick with those who believe the opposite.
We've all been doing great keeping our emotions high and just continuing to be who we are and serve the purpose of what we are here for.
