Grateful I stopped watching the news a very long time ago. via /r/gratitude

I’ve never been a big fan of the news mainly because I just have a hard time understanding it all. Now that I’m older I understand it better but anytime I read anything or hear it on the tv I can feel something in my brain shift from light and optimistic to dark and genuinely afraid of what to believe and what to do about it. Part of me feels like I should force myself to keep updated on current events but a bigger part of me says “nope!” I’m grateful for that bigger part of me.
