 Since nostr is really my only window to the current world, for about a year now, I get these lil glimpses in notes I don't quite understand or in memes. Sometimes, with time, a better understanding of the event emerges as more notes are posted, but often it is just a lil blip on my attention radar and passes by in a snap. What I have come to know is that very few things happening affect my day-to-day life and generally my life is much more peaceful and productive not knowing.  
 Lol I feel this.  
 My own life has been hella traumatic this year. Don't need America's shitshow added lol  
 I love it.

It's helpful to know what's going on, but we shouldn't spend so long focusing on shit that we really don't like.

 I know enough. And if there is something that pops up that i think matters then i will mindfully search out more info. Informed (enough). Grounded (literally). Unbothered. Moisturized. Balanced (enough 🤪😂). 
 I just had similar thoughts. 🫂 
 I get this. Through Nostr regularly you disengage from the news cycle but re-engage with quirky, weird human takes. It's way kinder to your psyche. Feels a bit like the innocence and promise of the early internet again. 
 This is so true. Even in 6weeks of nostr only I have almost forgotten what’s happening out there. Life just goes on and turns out I didn’t need to know all the doom and gloom as I couldn’t influence or do anything about it anyway.
