What do you choose to ignore every day?

What other people think about me and my opinions. Fun fact: You’ll be surprised to know that there are incredibly few people who think about you as much you would like them to.

The looming certainty that our species is pretty fucked, lol, and there's not a thing anyone can do about it. But, hey, other species have come and gone, and we will too. It's not the end of the world. Just us.

Funny thing is, I consider myself a generally happy person. I think once you accept the doom and gloom, it's almost kinda liberating. Like why worry about something that's unavoidable and out of your control anyway? Some amount of detachment from the future can be healthy...

Also, microbes. We're teeming with them and their poop. Gazillions of little creatures living on and in us. You never have to feel lonely!

Here's a partial list (in no particular order): social media, people who criticize just for the sake of criticizing, people who tell me that my choices are wrong, other peoples' opinions of me, as much negativity (in all spheres) as possible, people who just don't seem to be able to enjoy something or let someone else enjoy that something even if they don't.

The phone - it's the largest source of interruptions there are. I almost never answer it, unless I know who's calling.

The news. I genuinely don’t want to know what horrifying things are going on in the world.

The art of knowing, is knowing what to ignore. – Rumi

Sturgeon’s Law: Ninety Percent of Everything Is Crap[0]

Fanboyism, celebrity news (and celebrities in general), hatred and negativity.

Crazy, resentful, envy and deeply ungrateful people claims posing as just.

People who (implicitly) say "you better do X or care about Y or else bad things will happen!!111!"

it's like: what's going to happen? Am I going to spontaneously combust if I just ignore you?

- Any type of internet drama (even if it involves people I follow/subscribe to) - What strangers think about me - Fashion trends - Ads - Phone calls

Hate from other people.

The textbooks I need to study for my entrance exams. I think I'll crack them open tomorrow.
