Forgive Me For Living In La La Land
Politics has never been my thing — sorry, not sorry
Before you think I’m off the grid farting rainbows and hugging trees or hunting for my own food supply, or simply not giving a damn, that’s not what I’m doing. I promise — and if I were doing those things, that would be fine too. I’m just so tired of the barrage of bad news left and right. Should it be reported? Yes. Should I pay attention — ABSOLUTELY! There’s just a few things must do to keep my sanity.
Prioritize news download
I know some people personally who talk politics every single moment. On Medium, I do talk about Black politics occasionally, because it is of utmost importance, but lately my mind can only hold so much so much bad news, and I have to watch my stress levels.
In the morning, I don’t read or watch anything politics(if I can help it). I reserve that time for poeming, journaling, and stretching. I greet the sun and tell God I am thankful for being alive and in my right mind. By midday, I hop on Medium(I love my writers on here, y’all keep me informed), and I check any social media posts and news videos.
Keep it business as usual
I’m a busy gal.
