Dear Sann,

I used to live in a country with a lot of political and ethnic tensions that got worse the last years. Everybody read the news, everyone talked about the news there, everyone was politically ‘charged’ or scared. I remember telling my friends: how I miss those days when we used to talk about what are we gonna do this weekend, when we exchanged ideas, discussed books… So I know first hand how unhealthy that situation can be. Now, I don’t even wanna open a news portal… I’d rather see a documentary about spirituality, read a book about psychology, take a long walk in the park. Life is too short to spend it bombing yourself with such negativity.

But I understand your need to get familiar with topics in order to blend in better socially… For example, I am really bad at history, and when I visit a new historical city, a museum, a monument… I am scared to even open the mouth cause I’d probably make a fool of myself. And I’ve been doing a lot of traveling with new friends lately, people I’d like to stay in my life 😀

How do you feel about conspiracy theories? They are really popular topic lately, connected with the current state of society, probably bit less scary cause they are.. theories? There are interesting documentaries out there that are easy to follow 🙂
