The Insanity of Normality

How does one stay normal today? What is even normal? Cause at this point I have no clue. But I do know that when I go on my phone or turn on the news, and see the stuff we’re being fed or see what’s happening around the world, I know that shit ain’t normal. Somehow, we’re still expected to fall in line, keep your head down, blah blah blah. I mean for most of us that’s how we were raised, especially for people of colour, that’s how you survived, by failing in line. But right now, I don’t know how one can stay in line. What we’re seeing right now is fucked up, and I have a hard time of just brushing it off like things are normal. They say ignorance is bliss but at this point it’s almost impossible to be ignorant when everyday you open your phone, you see another person with a bullet hole in their head. This is not even political or me trying to be woke, I’m genuinely asking how can anyone act normal right now. Like I try to be intentional with what I consume for peace of mind but at this point it feels like it’s everywhere and you can’t escape it. Shit is dark right now and being oblivious to it will only hurt you and the ones you love very soon.
