Reminder: you become mentally ill if you spend all day looking at things you hate and complaining about them with other angry people

It's important to keep this in mind, especially now when it's so easy to get sucked into these loops of negativity.

Extremely bad for mental health, and you're hurting yourself if you're doing this. Doing it consciously is self harm

This is why optimism is not a choice for me, I would not be able to hold on if I weren't able to look at things for the brighter side.

And on an optimistic note, I've noticed more and more people realizing this as of late. People are actually becoming consciously aware of how their mindset is changing now that we've been thrust back into the negativity of a Trump news cycle.

And I think a lot of people don't want to return to that mindset, and it's really just as simple as changing the way that you consume content.
