Taking time
Added 2020-06-23 12:45:43 +0000 UTCTo assess my energy leaks.
I’ve spent the last couple of days away from social media. It has been SURREAL!
In only 2 days I have reached for my phone too many times to count, prepared to engage in some sort of insta battle on socials, only to remember that I no longer have that overwhelming responsibility. Each time, I stop to see those apps have disappeared from my screen. I then go straight to my duo lingo and practice my Spanish for the 30 minutes I would have wasted worrying what the throngs of compubots thought of me. My stress level is evening out, my sleep is more restful, my desire to self medicate is lessening, my acute BiPolar state is loosening it’s grip. I’m finding myself enjoying moments instead of capturing them in photo to post. I find myself much less concerned with the approval of loved ones and strangers. In short, I feel less crazy and more focused.
It’s becoming clear to me how much time I have wasted on Instagram alone. Time I can never get back. It’s clear how our world keeps us busy with focusing on our insecurities and arguing on line to keep us from focusing on digging deep to do the hard work of self discovery and dissecting outdated governmental, educational and social systems.
It’s clear that social media is a war tactic. I won’t return. But I will stay with you here where we support and inspire eachother💗
Thank you for being there for me.
I appreciate you.
I’m learning things💗

I hear you Danielle. I miss our chats. Feels like the world is going to shit in a hand basket. We all have to hang in there. Please keep in touch. Try to enjoy yourself. Focus on whats is important. Family, friends and doggies. Definitely take your meds if that calms you down.. My son is the same way.. He just had his birthday.. I was happy he spent with some friends. My son is Bipolar and hes been off his meds. Apparently he likes smoking weed which normally I don't have a problem with it. . but once or twice he got Spice and he lost his mind. I naturally worry about him. love your buddy Carlitos.. from California.. I know you was trying to find him a place to stay in San Antonio, Tx.. Love Carlitos. Guzman

2020-06-24 14:41:48 +0000 UTCEven though I do not really know you personally, I completely understand the need to rid yourself of all of the social media. It has become a place where angry individuals can bash people or post mean and ignorant things about people. I too have left all social media. I still have Facebook, but I don’t post anything. Live your life to the best of your ability. That’s all any of can do.

2020-06-23 21:37:16 +0000 UTCWell, I'll just say that it wasn't a total waste. Because you were willing to share your heart, I was able to learn what an amazing human being you are. With all of your appearances on American Pickers, it was not the appropriate venue for you to share all of the things that matter to you. So, in that sense, I think your time on IG was valuable. And I think many people will miss you there. But you have an obligation to protect yourself from abuse, so they will have to live with the loss. I'm glad you're doing better.
