David here.
Since deleting my personal account and having absolutely zero comment or knowledge on anything to do with the UK anymore…
I have a few words for people on X.
You do not need to feed into the negativity of the UK news cycle.
Looking back, I was destroying myself daily because of how angry everything made me.
Probably completely valid, but to what effect?
I felt I had almost a responsibility eventually to add comment, to give my big old bold controversial opinion on things going on.
But all I did was leave myself angry all the time - to what end?
I am back in the UK this week, and I see all the same problems…
So what was I actually trying to change?
I’ve noticed that I have seen said problems but I don’t need to be upset about them because I decided to not have to face them by leaving the country.
Instead, I now spend most days on the beach - here’s Sunday watching the sunset.
Life genuinely is too short to be angry all the time and I was simply feeding my own ego by pushing against the uncontrollable element of an entire society and economy doing silly things.
I now click ‘not interested’ on anything to do with the UK because ignorance truly is bliss and not in a bad way.
