must have been easier to be alive before news traveled so fast and you were only ever aware of a handful of tragedies instead of thousands and thousands of them being delivered to you on a daily basis. why is there even a question of why our generation is so depressed and anxious like I’ll tell you why?? everything i read breaks my heart and my capacity to empathize and be outraged is absolutely maxed out. yeah i’m sad bitch! we’re all sad! there’s no relief!

and that’s why i don’t watch the news! our stupid monkey hearts aren’t meant to handle the entire world’s suffering, so why do we subject ourselves to it?

The only thing carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders achieves is that it eventually crushes you.
