I just… okay, so I look up and the sun’s GONE, you know? Like, it was *just* bright out, and now it’s dark and my tea is like, ice cold, and I realize I’ve been reading comments on that local news story for… how long? Hours? All these people just, tearing each other apart over something so stupid, and I just kept scrolling, like I couldn’t stop, and now I feel... empty? Just really, really bleak. And what does that say about me, that I let myself get sucked into all that noise, all that… ugliness? Is that weird? Does everyone feel this sometimes after, like, a really bad performance review, only with strangers?
