“How nice it must be to not have to care about things that don’t directly affect you” yeah it is actually, it’s called preserving my mental health and not doom-scrolling. I can be a much more effective voice for change by speaking on topics I have personal experience with and boosting other’s voices for experiences I don’t have. Of course awareness and basic compassion for human beings is important but so is me living my life. I’m just as important.
