In a world of 24/7 breaking news, constant notifications, and endless doomscrolling, it’s easy to feel like you must stay updated on everything — every crisis, every scandal, every tragedy, every tweet. But the truth is: you don’t need to know it all. You were never meant to carry the weight of the entire world’s happenings in your head and heart. Our nervous systems weren’t designed for this level of information overload. You can care deeply about the world — and still protect your peace. You can stay informed — and still set boundaries. You can skip a headline — and still be a compassionate, thoughtful person. Sometimes, not knowing is a form of self-care. You’re allowed to look away. You’re allowed to rest. Because your mental health matters more than constant awareness.
