This world we live in

January 29, 2015
Day 274

ISIS, marriage equality, Cuba, fracking, Republicans vs Democrats, genocide, murder-suicide, police shooting unarmed civilians, armed civilians shooting police, North Korea, deflated footballs, Tiger Woods' missing tooth, Ebola, blizzards, unvaccinated children, earthquakes, drones, and oh yeah, Facebook.

This world we live in is changing so quickly, and though some of our problems and issues are a constant, many new ones are showing up all the time too.  It really is enough to make you go crazy, like literally.  In a world with this much constant news, information, activity, and change, there's simply no way to maintain your sanity unless you turn it all off from time to time.  The news of this world, the needs of this world, the corruption and the chaos of this world--all of it can wait.

Sometimes you need to turn off the TV, close the blinds, find a book or even just a pillow, and go to your happy place.  This world we live in?  You can't help it if you're in full-out freakout mode.  You need to de-freak your freak and just chill.  The world will be there waiting when you come back.
