I really loved this piece because I self describe myself as living in a cave purposefully. I try to keep track of important news but only generally, just to know that it does exist. As a creative especially, everything I absorb influences me so I am very sensitive to what I take in.
That said, one solution to all of this is to have your own life on fire. That really relieves a lot of guilt when you're struggling to attend to your own life, much else someone else's :') I just tell myself that I don't have the privilege to worry about it but when I can do something to help, I will.
From the article:
"the screen I’m peaking into"
I believe you meant "peeking".
sure, thanks!

haha that's a good idea actually: be so under fire yourself that you can't attend to other people's fires. Thank you Aja!
Beautiful piece :)
