Thoughts and reflections on ‘no politics’ week

So, you’re probably wondering how that ‘No Politics for a week’ thing went. It was actually quite serene. Then school happened and I went to visit my girlfriend (not particularly in that order) and then I went to the #MarchForLife in Washington, DC and… It’s been busy.

It was nice to get some distance from the constant scandals and carnage that is our news lately. Many of my political pages on Facebook are still set to not show in my feed, and you know what? That’s fine. I still see the ones that are most important to me, and, especially, those shared by my friends. It’s kind of like a buffer for me. I needed that. It’s nice to see posts about other things.

I strongly encourage you to do the same. Take a chill. Relax. Let it go. The world will continue to have problems and most of them not solved while you take a break.

Also, if you’re one of the ones who have not been involved in politics, maybe this is the time to start. Find something you’re passionate about and learn about it. Then do something about it. Stop being someone who hides their head in the sand. This is the real world and the problems won’t go away if you ignore them.

Wake up you sleepers!
