CANCELLED FLIGHTS
​Can you just stop? The endless outrage over people planning holidays or rescheduling flights, enjoying life, or simply existing while terrible things happen elsewhere is exhausting. Booking a flight or taking a holiday does not make anyone responsible for wars, terrorism, or global conflict. It doesn’t. It makes you a human being trying to live your life. And if you can’t see that, maybe take a long look at your own priorities instead of policing everyone else’s.
My flight was cancelled on Tuesday, I need to be in Cyprus asap as it’s my busiest time of year for advertising sales ahead of the season but god forbid I mention this. Apparently we’re not allowed to say that out loud without someone implying it’s trivial. Running a business doesn’t pause because the world is chaotic. Clients still need support. Deadlines still exist. Revenue still matters. I have a fashion show in Cyprus next week, people are waiting for me. It’s possible to care about global events and still get on a plane to do your job.
Life is short. It’s messy, unpredictable, and terrifyingly fragile. And yet somehow, in the middle of all the chaos in the world, there are people who think it’s acceptable to guilt-trip others for living. Just because someone is travelling doesn’t mean they are insensitive or unaware. It means they refuse to let fear dictate every single choice.
So to all the keyboard warriors and moral alarmists: 🖕Live your outrage but don’t try to make the rest of us feel guilty for being alive. Empathy isn’t about self-flagellation, it’s about awareness, and awareness doesn’t mean cancelling your life. And no
