Self Improvement is a Bitch 

Trying to be mindful of something I once learned: We're shaped by the company we keep.

I really don't like the person I'm increasingly becoming. It's hard to find positivity in this day and age, and as a result I've become much more negative.

A lot of that negativity comes from the news and both sides responding to it. On the right, literally everything. On the left, constant grandstanding and in-fighting.

I'm leaving the political behind until I can stand it again.

@JulieSqveakaroo @mawr This.

One of the things that helped me was getting out of the conversation and scoping my involvement to things I can actually do to help. Constant shouting about the latest scandal and atrocities wasn’t it (in fact, it precludes other action); setting up regular calls to my representatives and donating to orgs better equipped for that conversation works better for me.
