The only thing that has helped me to stop doom scrolling was remembering that worst people in the world want me to doom scroll.

We've become inundated and confused and overwhelmed and scared. And that's by design.

They're banking on us disconnecting. They've invested a lot in forcing us to tap out. I don't like people telling me what to do and how to think. You're gonna buy in sometimes, but when you realize it? Resist that shit as hard as you can.

Action is the remedy to hopelessness. Hope is a verb.

Someone once said, if you’re scared to lose your life you already have, and that stuck with me.

If we want real change in the long term? That requires us to be comfortable changing something now.

Things don’t change unless I do, and if I’m being honest with myself? It’s beyond time for a few changes.
