I actually tried talking to my mom about this 6 months ago. As I elaborated further and further on all the reasons A-Z why we’re fucked, she saw that it was distressing me.
She told me, “If it’s bothering you, why think about it? You can choose to go think about something else.”
“You’re basically saying that I should stick my head in the sand like an ostrich and ignore it?”
“Yes. If we’re heading towards the end of the world, which I highly doubt, then you should spend the rest of your time doing what makes you happy.”
