walk my path alone

I have lost complete faith in humanity. It didn't happen overnight. It took a lifetime. I don't even want to share personal stories or the unfolding of it, I don't think it would make a difference. I don't even want to connect in real life anymore and even that story here isn't for connection. I don't even know if putting things down into words will make any difference at that point. I don't even think I'm that much better, I'm full of flaws and full of anger, I just even see a point of there can't be mutual respect and trust. And it's rare to see even basic decency nowadays.

You know a lot of people have lost faith in humanity. We're all going through a rough time here lately with the world all messed up in politics and all. We can't do nothing about that so it doesn't do any good to worry about it. I just let them fight amongst themselves. We just have to worry about ourselves and taking one day at a time. The rest will take care of itself. It really will. Bad times don't last. But I would love to see you get out amongst people and not connect with others but I know how you feel if you feel like you want to be alone right now. I say, baby yourself. Love yourself. You need yourself at this time and if you have to sleep every day then sleep every day until you feel better one day but don't completely disconnect from the world because we do need each other. We say we don't but we really do and that's what's wrong with Society right now. They've all disconnected because they have their noses all stuck in their cell phones and computers. People used to sit out on their porches and talk to their neighbors and people would stop by and talk. That was cool. That was connecting. And you never know when someone might need you as badly as you need them. They might not say it, but some do. I am a loner as well. But when I feel like mixing with people than I do. It's not that I ignore them when I see them or anything. I'm always friendly and I mean it or I wouldn't be friendly. And sometimes I have my friend come over and watch a movie, but I never go against myself. It's only when I'm feeling up to it and that's okay because we need to make ourselves top priority and not feel guilty about it. We don't have to feel guilty about one thing. Just be ourselves, do what makes us happy, and take one day at a time. Here we have all these gloom and doom videos out and they are making people crazy but I don't watch those. They just drag you down and they are just lying to us to make money off of their sensationalistic videos. I don't buy into it.
@LadyGrace nowadays it's like everybody is trying to sell you something, I don't mean neighbors but it's constant advertising, it's exhausting and doesn't invite engagement. It's rare I've had conversations that are devoid of interest, and... You have to be careful, I won't share stuff I've been through I open the news and see the same and millions having it worse, but it doesn't just happen to others. That and technology disconnecting make a strange mix.
@TheSmearedPen So true. But I was just only telling you that for one reason and that was to let you see that sometimes we think we want stuff and we don't or we get things mixed up. I enjoy being with my own company. I make a habit not to watch violent things or political things or sad things on YouTube. I'll watch the funny animal videos or documentaries about how to build a cabin and stuff I really enjoy. Or I'll watch a very feel good movie. Or I'll watch just anything that will make me laugh. I enjoy very much the stories of personal victories. Those always lift one up. Or I will watch an old game show that me and my dad used to watch and I love doing that. Game shows where there's challenges or things on crafts or hobbies that I like. Just good stuff. What we fill our mind with affects us directly. It's not healthy to watch things that upset you. I don't entertain that junk. Sometimes I watch sports as well and that's fun.

Well time for me to get off this tablet and rest haha. I'm so tired. It's been a very long day and I'm whipped. I hope you have a great night. Get a good night's sleep okay? I'll be here if you want to talk tomorrow. Hugs
@LadyGrace of course. Thank you so much 🙏
