I am probably biased because I prefer to hike first thing, but my favorite part of the day is sunrise. The colors, peacefulness, and lack of bugs make for a really incredible time to just be and enjoy being outside.

I don’t remember the last time I watched any cable news. They’re part of the reason why we are where we are, but people keep tuning into them which attracts advertisers. It’s not news it’s entertainment
does your television have more than one channel? or an off button?
you do not have to watch shit.
you make everything worse by giving them ratings and continuing to pay their salaries.
just watch something else.
put yourself out of your own misery.
