the internet is teaching you apathy.
now this isn’t an extreme opinion where i believe everyone is suffering a lack of caring. it isn’t everyone. but a very wise brooklyn dj once told me, “in a room of 40 [people], the one screaming is always the one to be heard”. the nonchalant epidemic is the screaming person in a room of people who once cared so deeply. i often ask my younger friends what their plans are for the future, i myself am someone who is in a constant state of “chalant”ness especially for my long term goals.
i dunno.
do you even care ?
not really
why? why won’t you care? when you were a child and someone brought up your favorite tv show- you cared, when you fell and scraped your knee on the asphalt- you cared, when you got your heart broken for the first time you were so so angry- you cared. where did that fervor go? passion, empathy, creativity, the essence of the human spirit, it all stems from daring to give a fuck about anything. caring so intensely is the most badass thing a person can do, so hug your friends, tell your girlfriend you love her, start a new medium. start caring about something so much that it becomes the center of your world, and then care a little more.
