Is this the way of the world now or can I exit?
Every day I hear about something so odd happening in the world. Not only are there bad things happening constantly such as wars but the ridiculousness of humans.
My partner enjoys scrolling socials and out of the blue they will tell me a bad post. I've learned to keep my mouth shut because in the past it leads us into a bad argument or a tangent of daily news events. I am exhausted.
I just want a peaceful life at my age. The young can deal with the consequences of their online actions and the results of society. I feel bad for them but humans are always the problem. One day they will learn that hard lesson. Some of us try to be good to each other but there are way more bad people on this planet it seems even more so in 2026.
In the past I could go online and get away from the world but today it is the opposite. The digital world is such a horrible place. You can find some corners of the web that are trying to keep the basic web going but eventually it takes alot of energy that some of us run out of.
This is why I read books, play video games or browse the other internet that is called finger/gopher/gemini. I touch grass too and don't read or watch the news. Once you figure out what life is about, you tend to accept the brutal facts of this world. Nothing changes and it's just new faces running the gong show.
