In response to "A Possible Goodbye"

Jaeyne of the Free Fab Five

: I’m also reading a book titled: “Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now” by Jaron Lanier. It’s illuminating to say the least.

Being away for as long as I have does feel like I’ve started living again, too.

In response to "A Possible Goodbye"

I'll admit it.

I tanked all my social media and got my life back. The people who want to stay in touch have my cell phone number and we do a few zoom chats if they aren't close by.

I can say, for myself, it was the best decision I could have made.

In response to "Seeking Motivation"

I missed a couple months of writing in my hand-written journal. I'm back to it now; but I wrote fewer pages (61) in a year than I normally write in a three month season. I need to write about today on page 5,235 of this letter to my friend.

I have been fasting and trying to post daily introspections here.

Fathertymme, "Cold Durry Days"

: Good advice! And since I live up north I’m always in need of sunlight. Spring could definitely improve my mood. Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

In response to "Seeking Motivation"

Vivacious, Things always look and seem better in spring. I to have to push myself to write, I do not write as often as I should. It prompts me to have special people to write to, My Grandsons and Granddaughters. Pick someone dear to you to write too, It give the writing purpose....

In response to "Take Wing and Fly. Or crash. Either is Fine."

Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

: That’s so sad. Being the optimist that I am, though, and judging by the adventures you’ve shared over the years with all your traveling and meeting new people, I’d say you bloomed quite nicely.

In response to "Take Wing and Fly. Or crash. Either is Fine."

My parents sheltered me. Of course, I was very withdrawn and 'hid' so that didn't help. I was frightened of anyone my age and avoided them. I was neither self-reliant nor independent. I was clueless when I went to university and suffered for my ignorance. But... I did start to bloom, until an early frost nipped me in the bud when I was 21. It's been needlessly rough all my life because I still withdraw and hide.

Whether it's abuse or neglect it's the same thing, a lack of good parenting skills.
