Omg I have got to stop watching the news!

Somehow, I keep ending up seeing news on Youtube. Canadian news. I usually try to avoid the news because it is never anything good and always leaves me feeling stressed. Lately, there has been so much going on in Canada, it is scary! I don’t understand why everyone cannot just live in peace. I don’t understand why there has to be such violence, hate, and animosity in the world. Sometimes the world is beautiful, but if you look at the news, it’s just stressful.

Honestly, it feels like the entire world is in chaos. Has it always been this way and I’ve been too distracted to notice? I think of the good old days when I was a kid. The world didn’t seem as chaotic and violent as it is now. However, if I look back through history, it was just as bad. The only difference was, I was a kid and didn’t care about the news. The world was far away from my little town in the middle of nowhere, where nothing ever happened and nobody bad lived there. If I go even further back in time, assuming that life was better, safer, nicer back in the 1800s, nope. It was just as violent and corrupt as today. Maybe the corruption was easier to hide back then without internet and TV.

So, I have got to avoid news. I don’t watch TV, and usually just watch either Youtube or Netflix for entertainment, but lately, I’ve somehow gotten myself in the negative news rabbit hole of Youtube. And the scary fact is that it is all recent. It’s not like I’m watching old news…this past week has been one thing right after another.

I wish we could just have peace on earth, everywhere. right now.
