Feeling Too Much

I wish I could explain this so it does not make me sound crazy. There is no way, and of course, that mortifies me. When I listen to the news too often, read the paper too regularly, I end up overly emotional about everything. I found myself almost in tears this afternoon, driving to the daycare, all because I listened to the leader of the opposition talk about the Premier's speech. Stupid, I know, but I despise animosity, and acrimony makes me weepy.

I grew up in a family that fought. A lot. I am not good at fighting, and I don't want to be. The news is full of animosity, acrimony, and all sorts of negative feelings. I want to try to be more informed. I want to be more current. But at what price? Which is more important? I am struggling with this, and I feel bad that I cannot balance things better.

:(
