besides the usual stress and discomfort of the cycle, the state of this world is just making me so depressed. on top of that, the lack of absolute empathy for fellow human beings is extremely shocking. it’s hard staying optimistic in a field where you strive to heal others when people are having their lives and fundamental rights stripped from them. i mourn our current world but strive to create a more just one. idk food for thought. this is so depressing.
