I don't know u, but i wish nothing but the best to you! It's totally cool to not be political or to try to structure your life around something not political, totally ur choice. Who am I to judge that? I don't think personally anyone has the right to do so. I found for instance that, committing to communism at heart and starting to organize, really gave me some porpuse as I suddenly started learning a lot and found some really cool and likeminded ppl. Well but that doesn't rly solve a lot of the mental issues i'm facing, therefore I also need to go see a psychologist. But ultimately I can also understand why one would choose to limit the political aspect of ones life, especially since it does take a lot of ones time and energy. Still, hope to see u 'round.
Edit: Also, that is a pretty sick pfp o.O
Learning about communism has made me more aware of the ugliness of capitalist reality. But if anything, that awareness has brought more serious obstacles to improving my mental health. It's just harder to enjoy things for what they are.
It's totally a respectable choice to let politics take a backseat for periods. People can only do what's in their mental and emotional capacity to do so. Human beings simply were never meant to be aware of so much information at once. Especially regarding oppression.
I struggle with this. Sometimes I think that I might be happier living in blissful ignorance, but then I remember that I was both unhappy and ignorant before 😢
