What I need a break from is the constant bombardment of negative media in the political realm. The doom scrolling is a definite part of the plan and a way to keep eyeballs on those screens. I just need a break from it. It even comes from other people as water cooler talking points or dinner party rapport. I want a break from people shouting the world is ending. A break from words like nazi and fascism. Where are the adults in the room? Who is going to say, “that’s enough”. I want a break from what others are telling me is important. How I should spend my time or what I should be worried about. It’s like pitch that just sticks to everything it touches. I am not choosing to be uninformed or to bury my head in the sand. I am asking for a shift of perception. To widen our vision. To praise the good still found. Like sitting under a shade tree in a park. Or helping a stranger in need.
