Lately, I’ve tuned out all news, not only the news on TV/the internet but have stopped checking my Facebook feed. I truly have no idea what’s going on outside my bubble. I’m sure to be missing something I should be enraged about, but that’s okay, I prefer it this way.
Instead of spending so much time obsessing over what people are doing all over the world, I’m focusing my time on what will make me a better person. With all the time not spent reading about other people’s lives, I’ve been putting in the hours reading books. Really good books. Each one has an underlying theme: How to live the life you want in the dynamic world we live in today. I’d take this reading, and this life-message, over anything going on in the “real world.”
Call me selfish, disconnected, or out-of-date with current events, but I call it living free. I get to choose what I consume, and I get to think for myself.
