I'm slowly starting to process the fact that not everyone reads the news.

Instagram and TikTok is proving again and again that people prefer to not look at the ugliness in the world and just keep away from it all.

Maybe it's escapism, maybe it's self-preservation. I'm also changing my opinion about how, "Everyone needs to be updated about the latest news stuff."

They really don't. Fuck it. Live in your little bubbles & be happy.

It's been a decade since I actively started following worldly affairs.

It has made me more aware and wiser, my career depends on it now, but I know there are wayyy more people who didn't do that.

They chose to keep away. From reading newspapers. From visiting news websites. Or news channels too.

I'm now starting to understand why and I respect their decision. I've stopped judging them for their choices, tbh.

@Memeghnad I was someone who was an avid news reader and someone who had 100s of google alerts set up to follow news . However , in the last couple of years I’ve stopped consuming news daily because it makes me angry and sad , more angry than sad . So for peace of mind and mental health , I’ve chosen to not follow news channels . I live in my bubble with a few trusted sites
