    This was also one of my decisions to move to Hawaii,
    to be away from the information world.

    I just learned about Assad from my 80yo mother on the phone. Also this Luigi guy, here.
    I'm really not following anything deliberately except occasional Gaza news from my instagram feed.

    I used to trade stocks and that required me to follow news like "Iranian drone bombed an oil tanker in Hurmuz" so that I'd hold on to an energy stock. Not doing that anymore either.

    My life is more focused. On myself, on my life here and what I'm after. I'm also less opinionated, still posting about Gaza every now and then because that is a more direct threat to our shared human body, but I want to observe and really want to find new ways to express my reactions.
    Like with art or doing more regenerative things to slightly compensate the harm we're doing.
    But mostly I want to fill my own cup first, I have a lot of baggage to shed.
    With that weight, I don't think I'm good enough to say much.

    I'm questioning all my motivations and trying to find the most real and useful way to exist.
