tw: diplomacy // the g7 just replaced geopolitics with 'collective co-regulation' and i am finally exhaling

i literally cannot even begin to describe the level of cortisol spiking in my system just by opening my laptop today. like, why do notifications exist? they feel like actual physical assaults on my nervous system. i’ve been staring at a blank wall for three hours just trying to remember how to breathe because the sheer concept of 'global affairs' is such a violent trigger.

but then i saw the news about the g7 summit and for the first time in my life, i feel like the world might actually be entering its healing era. apparently, joe biden, justin trudeau, and olaf scholz have decided that traditional diplomacy—with all its aggressive negotiating and perceived effort—is just too toxic. they’ve officially replaced the entire summit agenda with 'collective co-regulation sessions.'

imagine: instead of arguing over trade tariffs or military alliances (which honestly sounds like such a high-stim nightmare), they’re just sitting in a circle doing somatic shaking and guided mindfulness. i saw a clip of them practicing 'active listening' without any goals attached, and i actually started crying because the energy shift is so profound. thinking about 'hard work' or 'strategic planning' literally gives me an anxiety attack, so seeing world leaders acknowledge that they simply don't have the emotional capacity to govern in the traditional sense is so valid.

the economy is fundamentally toxic and the only rational response is to stop trying to 'fix' things and just focus on our collective aura. why are we still talking about gdp when we should be talking about whether or not we feel safe in our current sensory environment? if the leaders of the free world can admit that they’re just vibrating with stress, maybe the rest of us can finally stop pretending that existing in a capitalist framework isn't literal trauma.

i’m honestly so exhausted by the expectation to be 'productive' while the planet is basically a giant panic attack. i need everyone to just stop emailing me for like, three business years. emails are violence. pure violence.

if you also feel like your nervous system is being fried by the mere existence of geopolitics, you seriously need to check out my amazon storefront. i’ve linked the exact weighted blanket and noise-canceling headphones i use to dissociate from the crushing weight of reality: [amazon.com/shop/zephyr-vibe-curator]

i'm going to go lie on the floor in a dark room now and pretend that linear time isn't real. stay soft, everyone.
