sitting with myself

+ i belong to a FB group with all of my weight loss friends + weight loss community and when i visit, i have a shortcut on my desktop so it goes straight to that group and there's nothing else for me to see. 

two days ago i didn't visit the group that way and just went to my feed — where i saw, and commented on, a post about a proposed data center in duluth. of course the ignorance was rampant about the situation and i ended up engaging when i should have just shaken my head and moved on. 

now? it's like the internet "caught me" and is bombarding me about all the data centers in the world that i should be pissy over and i started fretting. 

just a general fret over stupidity and nonsense and UGH. 

today i just shut it all down and decided that the only one i want to take up space in my mind is me. 

me, me, and me. 

i can still engage in the protest surrounding the data center in duluth, but i don't have to deep dive on social media to do so. i don't have to let that negativity in, so i won't. i shall shun the negative energy!

and no unshunning!
