As for the rest—the noise and drama? I’ve realized it only creates helplessness and frustration, and I’m no longer subscribing to that cycle. 🛑

The world keeps spinning 🌎& I’ve been happier unplugged.

How do you balance staying informed + protecting your peace?

I’m finding more freedom to love and connect with others, while still protecting my peace. 🫶

If someone wants to get overly political or combative, I politely step back. It’s just not where I want to spend my energy.

⚠️ Just to be clear: I’m not talking about meaningful advocacy for important causes. ⚠️

I will always stand firm on my core values—things like human rights are non-negotiable for me. ❤️

But I’ve learned I don’t need to engage in debates to defend my beliefs.

I realized that the “political entertainment machine” was draining my energy. ⚙️

It’s designed to pull you in with endless videos, posts, and heated debates, creating outrage and drama without offering real solutions.

Right now, I’m focusing on what I can control—and it’s been such a relief. 🙌

Anyone else on this journey?

What chip are you on?

Anyone who has hit this stark realization long ago, have any wisdom to impart?

I think many of us are still learning, (myself included.)

I’m not going back anytime soon. I feel like I got so burned by all of the ‘political entertainment machine.’ #NewsDetox

My 18-year old’s! Nice catch! He plays guitar and played shoegaze for a while. I’m amazed at his music taste.

Woot!
