the world is ending but I still have tomorrow
Hello,
The urge to use Twitter escalated when I saw the news. It has been like this for every major world event. Pandemic, elections, natural disaster; the nosy part of me needs to know the updates for everything. It's definitely not for the peace of my mind, just an autopilot decision.
I lives thousands of kilometres away from ground zero but living in a car centric country means, sooner or later, the impact will reach this region. Most of us learn about war in history but it never ends throughout the earth timeline. From Palestine to Sudan, Ukraine to Somalia. Past, present and high likely, the future. Live updates are making me anxious but it'll never justify the actual fright for all victims. Watching the news on a small screen that I can close any time feels unreal. Am I supposed to move on knowing there's literal killing and decimations across the globe?
Maybe I overreacted. I don't know the correct way to articulate my thoughts or to ease the worry. Only with optimism, I can go through the day. The world is ending yet I'll keep pursuing something I love for a crumb of normality.
sorry for somber post,
reesa
