Hello again my friends! I have a question if you don't mind

What is the definition of "real life?"

I hear those words thrown around a lot, yet I don't really know what it means. Many say that the the internet ( this is just one example) isn't real life, but everything in our life is real, which includes the internet.

Can someone enlighten me on this subject?

I truly appreciate your time and feedback <3

I don’t feel SW or social media is real life. Real life is the place where people would show up for you and not act like you’re a nitwit for having a bad day. People say a lot of shit on here they don’t mean, they’re crueler than they would be face to face.

@BrokenAbyss but all those terrible things happen to people every day outside the internet, and it's real. I do believe that people are cruel online, but cruelty doesn't make the internet not real, just easier because the other person can't retaliate physically

@RIPKAW I can’t touch you, it doesn’t feel real

@BrokenAbyss you also can't touch the sun. Does that mean the sun isn't real?

@RIPKAW I’m not made for the sun. I’m an earthling. We are meant to be beside each other.

I realized that when my family died. I didn’t realize the connection until it all broke apart.

@BrokenAbyss I agree with you that people are meant to be together, but that need to be together doesn't define what is real and not a real.

Are you okay? I'm worried about you. All the posts I've seen from you seem so sad :(

@RIPKAW I have to get to a doc asap. But the sadness is just part of my life.

@BrokenAbyss why a doctor? Are you sick?

I believe that everyone deals with sadness, but you don't have to be a slave to despair. I was completely consumed by misery and hatred my entire life, but I've finally decided to fight back. To break the chains that bound me. To take my life back.

I 100% believe you can too! Nothing is set in stone, a life of sadness included. You have the strength within you. I believe in you

@RIPKAW I was always really happy, bubbling with joy, until my family died. Until all the dirty secrets came out and I felt like all my love was a lie. For nothing. I have health issues, lumps in breasts and I likely need a hysterectomy. Now it’s just my son and I for years. How can I care for him when I have surgeries, when I need to recover? It’s too much on me 24/7 and there’s no fix. Someone would have to be here with us, but there is no one. I’m not enough alone, but I do my best every day. I’m in the worst possible location I could be in, but I have to deal with these things. There’s only so much a person can take 😂

@BrokenAbyss you sound like a warrior to me. You have been through so much, yet you are still standing. I bet you have a vibrant soul, but you can't feel it because it's chained deep down in the dark. Even the strongest of people can fall to the weight of this world when they have to bear the burden alone.

I refuse to let this world beat you down. I am here for you if you allow me to be. Even if you don't, I will keep you in my thoughts. I believe in you! <3
