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.

@mawr Sounds like a plan; I haven't piped up about politics much myself in the past year or so for similar reasons. Better to save my energy for where it's actually going to make a meaningful impact, rather than preaching to the choir.

That's pretty much where I'm at... at lease in the US.. both sides are full of shit and it is much easier to continue polarizing their bases rather than addressing a basic question like "How to do we heal?" or "How do we resolve these differences?"
I focus on what I can do in my own spaces and areas of influence rather than the shit storm going on else where.
