I would never tell a young person such negative things. But I'm seeing a lot of things that are making the world harder to feel hope in. I've been loving talking to young people in Tassie... The ones connected to nature, that choose to turn off their phones and the Internet and television because there are far cooler and more interesting things in the world. That's what young people need to be doing, not listening to the anxiety press.
I completely agree! I'm quite baffled where this negativity is coming from, too, but it seems a chorus of our modern world. At the end of the day, though, as you point out it's all a matter of what you give your time and attention to. If I focus on negative, toxic media all damn day, naturally I'm gonna be quite an anxious person. Which garden to water. I hope Tassie's still wonderful <3 big hug!!
