For those of us who live in the US things are and have been scary and depressing for a while, this seems to also be true about quite a few more countries in the world.

If you are living in a country that you deem safe, well functioning and overall a good country to live in, how do you feel? Do you feel anxious about the current state of the world? Also, what country are you in? (Just in case 🫣)

UK. It's actually alright here despite our culture of complaining about everything.

Weather is predictably dull and boring, but in a world of climate change that's not such a bad thing anymore.

Wages are outpacing the cost of living once again so that's nice.

Politics is just the usual arguing/ bitching about the economy. Everyone blaming each other blah blah blah. Storm in a teacup really.

US news is getting a bit scary, seeing the president cosying up with the enemy and appearing to want to let them take Ukraine in exchange for half of their minerals means that I don't think we'll be considering them a close ally in the near future. At least not a reliable one.
