    It’s scary how greed has made the world so hostile. It’s hard to stay ignorant about these issues because it’s just one search away on a phone. Yet, people still choose ignorance. I feel a little lost and hopeless sometimes even though I try to do my part. Finding a safe space online seems crucial for my mental wellbeing. Glad I can be here

      Don’t blame people for choosing to be ignorat. Empathy fatigue does not make you a bad person. We didn’t envolve to process so much shit.
      I try to focus on my local irl more. There I have some influence.

      Hello friend, I also struggle with feeling alone in a vastness of apathy and sometimes hostility. I’m glad we are here together to shine our candles in the dark - when everything else seems hopeless, one thing we always have within is our ability to choose our mindset and reactions. Sometimes it can help to focus on the things we can change in the here and now, rather than those we have no influence over. The difficulty lies in telling which is which. It is okay to be tired! But I hope you can find the strength to march on - together we can make the world a friendlier, kinder and better place :)
