Okay, folks, lemme just get this off my chest: I am SO over politics right now. Seriously, it’s like that one song you used to like, but now it’s just stuck on repeat and you can’t stand the sound of it anymore. Except instead of a catchy tune, it’s just endless arguing and negativity.
Everywhere you turn, it’s politics this, politics that. The news? Politics. Social media? A giant shouting match about politics. Even casual conversations somehow manage to veer into the never-ending black hole of who’s doing what and why it’s all going wrong (or supposedly going right, though you don’t hear much of that, do you?).
Honestly, it’s exhausting. It feels like we’re all just stuck in this loop of dissecting every single thing that some politician says or does. And let’s be real, most of the time it’s not exactly uplifting stuff. It’s all about what’s dragging us down, what’s supposedly going to fix us, who’s to blame… Ugh.
And here’s the thing that really gets me: there is SO MUCH MORE to this world than just politics. I mean, seriously, look around! We’ve got incredible nature, amazing art, hilarious cat videos (yes, I went there), people doing awesome things in their communities, scientific breakthroughs happening all the time… the list goes on and on.
If you’re spending every single day glued to the news, waiting for the next political drama to unfold, constantly debating the latest tweet or soundbite… well, honestly, I feel a little sad for you. You’re missing out on so much beauty and wonder that’s happening right here, right now.
There’s a whole world of experiences to be had, passions to explore, and connections to make that have absolutely nothing to do with who’s in office or what bill just got passed. Think about it – the last time you were truly blown away by something, was it probably a political debate? Didn’t think so.
So, here’s my unsolicited advice for the day: just shut up for a minute. Put down your phone, turn off the TV, and actually look around. Notice the way the light hits the leaves, listen to the birds singing, talk to the person next to you about something you both enjoy.
Trust me, there’s a whole universe of interesting, beautiful, and even joyful things happening every single day. Let’s maybe focus on some of that for a change, yeah? My sanity (and probably yours too) will thank you.

Well said!
The world spins faster every day, tossing noise at us like pebbles against a window we forgot how to close.
Politics, outrage, arguments — they cling to the skin like dust from a road we never meant to walk.
But there’s another road, quieter and older, where wildflowers bloom without applause, and the sky writes its own slow poems across the afternoon.
The real weight was never in solving every argument.
It was in remembering how to sit still by the river, letting the water carry away the dust we picked up from forgetting what matters.

Personally, I’m very passionate about politics and I believe it affects several aspects of our lives; but I agree that the 24/7 multimedia barrage is too much.
Good
