Inspire me a bit! Thinking about doing the same.

Seriously, I just found myself upset EVERYDAY because of the injustice in the world because of the daily instagram/twitter/google post about BULLSHIT
and while, I've never been one to sit up ONLINE and argue about how this person or that person was done wrong, I also haven't been the one to PHYSICALLY go out and RALLY. The most I've done is donate to various causes because I'm not that social.
I'm not afraid to fight for a cause, I would die any day for anything or anyone I believe in, but my social issues keep me from going out in the streets.
So, I figured if I'm not going to do shit in the real world outside of providing cash, I would do my self the favor of not getting riled up about the same shit I'm not out there rallying for.
The daily news about my black/brown brethren and sistren being BEATEN for a speeding ticket or not paying for a $1.99 chicken nugget box is depressing and I'm not going to allow myself to go into depression for the world. Fuck that. The world didn't raise me. My parents have.
I'm not sure when things will change, but for the moment I'M WELL aware that I'm living in chaos and I refuse to fall victim to the negatives they impose on people.
!!!!
This resonates with me because I have been feeling the EXACT same way. Which is why I took a break in the fall. Constantly seeing trauma porn, people that defend it, the showboating/dishonesty on SM, the negativity, all of it takes a toll after a while. Comparing yourself to others, seeing folks get mauled, seeing people you thought you knew say some foul shit about something you identify with. You can really become jaded and lose yourself or who you are meant to be on this social media ish. Then you might get your damn identity stolen cause these sites don't give a damn about your information.
Im just gonna be honest here, that protesting shit is a mess. That too has become a trend. I've gone to a dozen protests here and its always the same damn thing without any real benefit. Shout a chant! Recite some mess! March! Get arrested! Then folks and "leaders" of the protests have used this to make money and gain a platform on social media without really doing anything.
Hell no. I have a fuckin job, the protest on the other side of town, and ain't shit gonna change after this protest. That's cool that others do it and it's admirable but it's just not practical or sustainable for folks who are trying to live.
Unplugging from all the BS is a good way of dodging all the harmful ways SM and community trauma can impact us. It's tough shit. I think Im gonna delete everything besides tumblr
