Arty, you highlight something so important here, something that’s never far from my mind: IT’S ALL TOO MUCH!
We’re not meant to absorb so much content, so many opinions, or 24/7 news. It’s not good for our minds, hearts, or bodies...and when you’re bombarded with content like we are, do we stop seeing reality as is it?! I’m starting to think we do. How can we stay sane and rational when within the span of a few seconds I move from images of war to Sephora’s lasted holiday collections.
I’m trying, more than ever, to be more deliberate and thoughtful about what I consume, in all forms. Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Hi Caroline! Thank you so much for your comment and this reminder. "How can we stay sane and rational when within the span of a few seconds I move from images of war to Sephora’s lasted holiday collections." I don't know... maybe that is the only way to stay sane. Thank you again, as always, for your support. 🥰

Very on point - shameless plug I called this “emotional rationality” in an 18forty piece from this past summer https://18forty.org/articles/a-call-to-read-more-fiction/
Yes! I remember reading that one! Thanks for the inspiration 😉
Haha that was the goal!
“There are stories that really happened but aren’t true, and there are stories that never happened but are still true.”

I love that quote so much. Thank you David 🤍
What a profound read. So well put! I guess I have to start reading more fiction as I really do resonate well with each character.
