It begins with a brief look over. Stay current with just one headline, one update. One becomes two, then five, next a scroll that looks to continue on indefinitely. Each tale grabs your attention; each headline louder than the last demands a reaction before you even finish comprehending the last.
It eventually stops feeling like noise and starts to feel like data. You see you are merely gathering bits of things you cannot control, not getting clarity. Your sense of direction does not get better as the updates keep coming. It gets heavier if anything.
"Not more news" evolves from a limitation instead of a grievance. To safeguard your attention from being dragged in every direction, a silent decision to withdraw. It is not about ignorance. It concerns balance. Regarding selecting when to participate instead of being continually drawn.
