Welcome To My Reality~

April Prompt #8

8) Are you more interested in local, regional, nation or international news? Why?

Honestly, I have talked about this once before, but I hate to watch the news...if I do it is local news though...so at least I can be saddened, angered and paranoid about local crap I suppose LoL

I do not like seeing all of the hate, anger, violence, bullying, bashing, overdoses and all the other shit that people do....knowing it is happening right in my town saddens me. I have said and STILL say that the world would be a whole lot nicer of a place if every person did JUST one nice thing for someone a day...smile at a stranger....they may feel all alone and your smile could change their day...open a door for someone....say a kind word to someone, it may be just what they needed to hear that day....take over some cookies next time to bake to a neighbor that you don't know very well just to be kind....buy a co-worker a coffee....send a card to a friend for no reason other then to let them know you were thinking about them....just do ONE nice thing to someone...anyone...a day....and I swear the world would be a nicer place....

Watching the news has it pros and cons for sure....being educated and knowledgeable about what is happening in your area is a smart thing....and as I have explained...it can be a sad thing as well....So am I interested in the news...yes and no...I like to be aware but seeing news story after news story of bad or sad things for sure can affect me mentally....I can become more paranoid...depressed...anxious...never know...

With social media it is easier for me to scroll and pick and chose which things I want to know about and I can bypass the ones I don't. It may seem odd but it is just how I feel about watching the news!!
