Because I grew up with good parents I’ve been worrying about shit I can’t control for most of my life, and if I’m ever able to get away from it - which today is impossible - I feel guilty for not being informed.

This thread made me feel less alone so thanks for that.

like, yes the world is shit, we know this, i hear you, i’m exhausted can i please have one day of rest to recalibrate for the next one?
Can I get the last 30 years back?
