No matter what you do there is always some problem with it. I saw a post about fireworks and even though they are right about them it just sucks because some of my fondest memories are of setting fireworks off with my dad.

Im reaching a point where I can not care about any more things. I should go vegan but I just can't bring myself to care about something that isn't even a human when there are so many that are suffering. There is only so much that I can as a single individual do to make things better. There are so many things that I know I should care about and want to do something to help but Im barely avoiding just shutting down like I did a few years ago. it feels like I simply have no more empathy left to give.

I watch a movie and I pick up on all the obvious bullshit messaging it has and just want to stop watching. I feel like I lost the ability to just turn my brain off and enjoy something.

There are a bunch of other things too but I feel like the point is probably stupid anyways.

You don't have to care.

No matter what you do, someone will think poorly of your actions. You can't please everyone.

Prioritise the things you personally care strongly about and leave the rest to the people who care strongly about those things. If that makes you a bad person, then maybe embrace that you're not perfect, and neither is whoever criticizes you for it.

Be true to thyself and don't be a knob to others.

A nice and simple philosophy.
