Hey, Miss J!

Not doing too bad tonight. At least I don’t think so. I disconnected myself from social media – quite easily. It’s become very smooth for me.

The me of four years ago… or even last year would have found it difficult.

I always wanted so badly to have friends, to have someone who cared.

As time continues to march on, I’m forced to accept that I do have people who love me. Instead of me searching for friendships and acceptance online, I’ve turned to people that I personally know.

– In person.

Strange, isn’t it? I never thought I could make friends offline.

We stay connected via phone calls and video calls. So, the internet is good for that.

I thought I was too annoying for anyone to pay attention to me for any reason. Instead, I’ve learned that I’m charming.

Hint hint: My charm reveals itself in my writing. It’s quite good actually. Lightly seasoned and moistened by my dry wit and sarcasm.

I figure a blog isn’t quite the same as a social media platform… or am I oversimplifying it? I’m not subject to the “rapid-fire” reaction time of twitter, Instagram, TikTok or other forums simply because I disconnect notifications.

Note, I mentioned three platforms, because I only use a few in rotation if that. And as a matter of fact, I believe I pointed most of my social media accounts to this blog right here.

Anyway, I unplugged, turned on some “Intervention” and did chores around the house. I have a lesson to do half of… if not complete tonight. I also wanted to do some writing, but I have other things to do in the morning.

I suppose it’s either more “Intervention”, some medical show or those videos where the squirrels get into fights with birds.

Those are some intense fights.

… But not more violent than the fireworks outside. I keep looking to see if a neighbor’s car is about to be set on fire. I hope not. Someone is lighting them right next to their car.

Till Then,
