I can understand feeling this way, it feels pervasive the anxiety/fear/overwhelm and rightly so, there are so many hard and terrible things happening, conflict, genocide, fascism, inequality, the list goes on. I do think that the tech companies that keep us scrolling have a vested interest in keeping people overwhelmed, on their phones and apathetic, many of them are funding/abetting our corrupt authoritarian government. I also feel cognizant of how we get swept up in group think with social media and that feels bad too. This world breaks my heart every day and it also amazes me in its beauty, a both things can be true situation. The things that have helped me the most recently are markedly reducing my use of social media, getting involved in local community volunteering/activism and trying to be present to notice the beauty, connecting with people in real life. We are all doing the best we can. I love what Chani Nicholas always says- We are the ones we have been waiting for.
