Day 278 - Writing your own newspaper headlines https://golifelog.com/posts/writing-your-own-newspaper-headlines-1633399438475
The past few years had really opened up a rift between my experience of reality and the reality that mainstream media portrays.
The mainstream media reality shows a world burning and dying, at the threshold of collapse from a virus.
My actual lived reality, on the other hand, is a life that mostly goes on peacefully as it had did like the past decades, albeit with masks, hand sanitizer and some restrictions.
It’s like having schizophrenia on a society scale.
It was tough previously when I saw the world through newspaper headlines. But more and more, I’m realising that I can see the world through the people around me.
I can write my own headlines.
“Man hugs wife.”
“Father has fun with son at the playground.”
“Family eats dinner together.”
“Strangers drink beer at a table and laugh.”
These are the headlines I want to write, and to read more of.
