Drowning in Content
I'm becoming ever more tired of the constant accumulation of stuff pushed by western society, be it digital or physical. I'm not even interested in keeping up with releases from artists that I like! The mere thought makes me nauseous.
Yet, I still carry a strong craving for input.
Over the past days, I spent time on Youtube to scratch that itch in my brain. I ended up binging.
The videos I watched were a mix of junk content and concerning news - often inspired by frightening thumbnails. While I didn't go for the clickbait, it spurred me to look up reputable creators in the respective areas. The things I learned ended up putting me in a state of high stress.
On day three I managed to twist my focus toward more constructive videos. While it may not be immediately useful, it's far better to learn about water filtration methods and how to not use an emergency blanket than scary developments I can do nothing about.
