A Fond Farewell to Depravity and Insanity

Social Media's absurdity, and getting out by the skin of my teeth.

Today it finally hit me. As part of my morning ritual, I roamed around several social media platforms for just a few minutes, and realized how incredibly nuts all of it is. To say it’s crazy-making, is an understatement.

Finding nothing but warring words, mudslinging and polarization is common today. It made me feel stupid, just being there. I felt toxic sludge encroaching on me, by sheer proximity. I was not amongst bright people.

My dad’s wise words echoed in my head, “stay in your own configuration.” I’ve got several books to publish, IF I can tame my perfectionism, and ease up a bit on my “final editing” processes.

At times, it seems like a writer’s work is never done. As we continue to develop, so does our ability to portray the pictures in our mind with even more precise and better words and phrases than we had access to, as little as a year before. This is one of those “such is life” issues, me thinks.

I’m gonna UNPLUG from politics the best I can. Frankly, I’ve gotten bored with this circus, and now I can’t help but see everyone as buffoons… even Trump, I’m sad to say. This didn’t happen overnight. These feelings have been cumulative~ but have apparently, reached critical mass.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m salivating at the prospect of America getting up on its feet and back on track, rather than remaining at the mercy of a handful of psychopaths… but I’ve reached my saturation point. This nonsense is getting worse and worse, and I can literally feel my brain cells dying, due to proximal exposure.

I regret having bought the blue checkmark on X. It was an impulsive decision, because I mistakenly thought I’d be able to leave considerably longer posts on that platform, and it’s been an anti-climactic experience since. I won’t be renewing it next August.

Sorry to be dumping. I rarely ever complain. But once in a great while, a bitch-fest just FEELS good, because it smoothes the jagged edges off my sense of frustration and isolation.

Thanks for reading. I truly love each and every one of ya!
