The World I Know..

The news is depressing. This is probably not new information to anyone who has sat down and watched it recently. The government cutting programs for senior citizens who are in need, Wall Street protesters, and continued civil unrest throughout the rest of the world.

I can't help but feel emotionally spent. Ever since I was little I have always been so empathetic and sympathetic that it often takes a toll on me, mentally and physically. I'm sure it's a good thing to some extent, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be emotionally detached. To be able to not cry at other peoples' hardships, or hear upsetting news without falling apart.

"Suck it up.."   I try to. I honestly do.
