Our human beings is crumbling , and thanks to the “ miracle ” of technology , we now front infinite exposure to just how bad it is . With the 2016 election in full swing—#ImWithHer , # CrookedHillary , # DeleteYourAccount , # Sad!—I , personally , am glued to a stream of morbid word , memes and really shitty Trump tweets .
Even if you do n’t read much news show , there are enough people absorb and regurgitating it back to you — via hot takes on social spiritualist or dumb shit people say to you at piece of work or the bar — that you ’re in all probability cognisant of some of the many , many reasons the earth is presently burn .
The world , arguably , is slowly becoming a secure place as prison term passes . But things finger especially unsound right now — mint shooting , the ascension of Trump , law brutality ( and that ’s just the US)—because it is the present , and thing lean to hurt most when they ’re hap . But these days , the present hurts a hell of a circumstances more because there are so many new ways for awful information to reach us .
It ’s sure enough hard for those directly affected by theses calamity to cope with the news , but if years of psychological direction and psychiatry have taught me anything it ’s that we all demand coping mechanism . Here are some for these despairing times :
Sext . This is the easiest way to get through whatever . Consensualsextingis the ultimate conformation of escapism and if you do n’t harmonize with me , it ’s because you ’ve never sexted properly . ( I ca n’t offer any definitive templet on how to sext right . To each their own , son of a bitch . ¯_(ツ)_/¯ )
Every day , take a walk and leave your phone at abode . Force your eyes to look at as many three - dimensional objects as possible . It feels ripe , does n’t it ?
Get a pet . Animals , untainted by the pressures of human lifespan , can help us find solace in so many situation . Fun fact : I ’m currently save up for a lizard .
meddlesome yourself with so much oeuvre and so many social obligations you do n’t ever have a chance to process what ’s going on in the world . This will be tiring , and at times it might find as tiring as succumbing to the allure of your newsfeed . Remember : it ’s other than exhausting and that can be better than nothing .
Download ameditation app . People who conceive in star divination oftentimes severalize me this will free me of my inner convulsion . I have yet to try it , but hey , if it works for you , go for it .
Aggressively divvy up your spirit online . Do n’t hold back . Lean into the excruciation . Being completely yourself online is unloosen as shag . countenance the pain hang out of you like drome sushi .
Delete your business relationship . Hillary sort of ruined this , but it ’s not a bad idea . take yourself , What does my account offer me ? Whether it ’s Facebook , Twitter , Snapchat , or whatever else , make a listing of pros and cons to using it . If the bunko game outweigh the pros , unfreeze yourself from the prison of societal media .
Lose yourself in other forms of media . Word on the street is that we ’re presently inthegoldenageoftelevisionor whatever , so if your attention bridge allow for that , I would urge it . If you ’re not into television , might I recommendPokémon Go ?
Literally fuck . An option not available to all , but fucking can seriously be , like , the best life hack ever . ( Do n’t block about masturbation , fucking ’s ugly cousin , as an alternate option . )
Go off the storage-battery grid correctly now and never come back . Hey , a girl can stargaze …
