I’m changing my approach.
I was pretty upset with how this administration got kicked off and there are certainly still things that make my blood boil. But rather than rage out, I think I realized that not a lot of people can identify with where I’m coming from, and rolling around in the mud never helped make anything better.
I’m sure I will still fall prey to that from time to time. I think I used to be able to objectify a lot more of these topics because I both saw them as less urgent at the time and I wasn’t so personally affected by them, and I mean smack dab in the face affected by them like I am this time around.
But I think it’s more constructive, even if on a micro scale, for me to try and relate firsthand knowledge, experience and talking through things before letting reaction get the best.
Sure that will often fail to get my point across to everyone. But I also need to stop taking bait from people who A) just want to fight and/or B) people who just put everyone on Ignore and just throw out troll posts. Talking to P on here the other day kinda gave me that epiphany.
So I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing. Who knows where it’ll go.
