Is anybody else just feeling hopeless with all the news cycles about the airplane crashes? I just feel like we are all in a very apocalyptic world, but I still can’t stop scrolling looking for any hopeful news about the victims… even the crash today was a hopeful story turned to a nightmare for that poor child. I can’t!

I hate that the world has NEVER had a moment of peace in modern history. So much destruction just so that a few greedy people are happy and their coffers are filled way past the brim. I wish the clocks can all be reset. So many innocent lives.

Sorry I needed to get that out.

The air ambulance news last night is so heartbreaking. :(

I regularly use DCA. For years, people have been saying how congested the airspace is around there and how it was only a matter of time with near misses happening pretty frequently.

Yes, it's been stressing me out a lot! I have to fly next month and I've had to cut myself off from the news, because it just gets overwhelming. On the one hand I don't like feeling "uninformed," but on the other hand, I think it's OK to put your mental health first!

YES I’m with you! The world is an unhappy place these days. But taking a break from the 24/7 click bait news cycle is a good idea. Doom scrolling is not the answer! Watch some happy Bangtan content or something comforting. Follow some good news accounts. I’m going to try to do that too bc I can’t keep looking at crashes, war, fires, sad animals, or political shitstorms anymore.
