A 3 to 6 week hiatus

I feel the need to let things gestate, I feel like I shouldn't be on here making my posts and never branching out to see what everyone else is doing and saying. That is only good if I take a break.

What is wrong with me that I feel the need to boast about what I read, and listen to, and the kinds of films I try futilely to watch?

From 2004 to 2010 I lived without the internet, I had personal space, and enjoyed the kinds of things I do now, and I wrote lists back then too, I needed to always fit things together.

The Internet helps making lists in a huge way, but with the internet there's distractions all over the place, distractions can be life blessings, like other people.

However I feel strongly I need to make an official statement of a desired and necessary break, and will be back with updates, things discovered, and hopefully a better outlook and demeanor, so that I can fulfill a mini purpose in life, to make my own little world, ie: SW my virtual home, a better place.

There's 2 extremes -- 1) the embattled argument starter, and 2) the dazed and confused state where I cannot say much of anything. The middle path would be where I fit in what I value with valuing others.

@YoMomma I suggest "checking" here for very brief moments of time as needed, and if you can do a whole day without "doing" anything else, and spending 99% of the day not actually on SW, then it's a beginning at least, and possible therefore to go 3 or more days!!

@YoMomma 2 steps forward and 3 back, eh? Thanks for talking with me here, 1st off as AAA goes is acknowledging we have a problem, with that down pat, we can cling to a higher power like literature, and use pretty booktubers extensive videos, in chronological arrangement as ikonic meditative reservoirs while reading, well that's what i'm doing with CoversWithCassidy, gosh she's pretty!!

@MrAlmostCrazy aww i thought about reading books on youtube but i haven't bothered yet.. i actually have a big interest in singing but haven't put serious effort into anything ☺

@YoMomma As Joseph Campbell said -- "Follow your bliss" and sing! Just what brings joy to you, not what it may cause others to experience thereby. 🤗
