Priorities vs SW

People have lives outside of here and they are not always trying to ignore people.

If it comes between my family and here always choosing family.

I use to be closer to people when on EP, that's slipped here, I admit it.

When my mom died and I went through a year of hell back in 2018 it changed me and taught me to grasp at what is really important in life and though I like and respect many of you,it's not this place.
The people ,perhaps, but not this place.

The old friendships I forged in EP seem more accepting that we all have lives outside this place so, if I talk to them once a year(in Pirvate messages) we are still good with no assuming otherwise.
And those who demanded full attention all the time disappeared when they didn't get it. No real loss.

People have ignored me,my post,messages, possibly for pressing reasons, how would I know? or perhaps they didn't see it?
When I see these same people complaining about not getting an answer on thier posts or getting reply to messages right away it honestly make me wonder if they need coddling as much in real life as they do here?

My better side says we are all needy, in some ways, and to ignore the complaints and my gut says stick with those who have shown themselves to be okay with unexplained absences from time to time.

I do miss the closeness I felt with some on EP, but come to accept that was a different time in my life when I was exceptionally lonely.

Perhaps ,that's why some left for good they are no longer so lonely,hope so,always hope the reasons are happy ones.
