I hear ya, especially on #3.

Thank you for saying that.

Ugh, “I didn’t join the revolution to read” is such a dumb statement.

Ah, 2026.

I do not really want to pay attention to the news, given there is little i can do to change things, but everything keeps getting more expensive (Ex: gas, food).

So, you look up why, go down a rabbit hole of news and feel somewhere between exhausted and helpless.

One of my closest friends died during the Iraq War, I was much younger then, 17+ years ago now. It hurts though, an it hurts knowing other people are going to have to carry that weight as well, for those needlessly slaughtered, sacrificed, globally.

There are no survivor benefits and free counseling for friends.
