December 2020: Taking stock, embracing the future.

Here we are, away from Facebook for the first time in over a decade.  Feeling free and ready to embrace this opportunity to publish what I want, as I like, fettered only by common decency.  My own journal/scrapbook, precisely what I have been using FB for all those years, anyway...
A bit of free creativity at last!




When your absence doesn't alter someone's life,
Then accept the reality that your presence has no meaning in their life either.


And the same applies vice versa:  Well, no more reading about everyone's woes and worries; I may still visit the Spiritual Awakening page to find beautiful images and words of wisdom.  I crave internet viewing that only soothes and uplifts.  I wish to surround myself with positivity only, hence the gradual reducing of my 'friends' list; too many moaners and groaners, really.  When I feel ready to help others with their issues, then I may go back and face the virtual world again.

Right now is a time for down-to-earth hibernation, seclusion -not reclusion, more like a retreat.  I look forward to a lengthy break.  I know that it will be beneficial to my health, both physically and emotionally.  I shall have so much more time on my hands to 'do something productive' and 'do a little bit of minding my own business' without interruptions from messages, notifications of more and more data being thrown at my brain.  Demands of multi-tasking that drain me...  I am going back to 2D thinking.  Such a luxury to no longer be at the mercy of permanent connections who intrude on my peace of mind the minute I open my laptop...  I breathe a sigh of relief!  I am now grateful for the mediocrity of this platform which I relied on far too much for human contact.  I crave non-contact, is that so much to ask?

Insolvency -new word learnt today; I have lived with this unnamed companion for years...  She has taught me much; who to trust (very few), who to be grateful to (even fewer), what to be grateful for: Everything.

Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté, luxe, calme et volupté.

Baudelaire

This is where I am.
Thank you.
