Day 14 - Two weeks down, one to go...

The funny thing about taking time off of Facebook and other social media, in reality just means you spend that same amount of time on something else... You substitute one addiction for something else. In my case, I've spent much more time watching tv then I used to do. Honestly, I feel like I got more out of being on Facebook and Twitter, in terms of recognection from your peers and friends, than I do watching tv. The tv doesn't tell you that you're funny or that quote you just thought of, was really insightful.

But that's besides the point really. Facebook has become an integral part of life for a lot of people. Even companies that have fan pages and the like. It's just something you have to deal with on an everyday basis and it means if it becomes too much, you have to cut down and manage your time better.

I guess that's what I've learned. I need to manage the time I use on stuff, a lot better... It's vital really. So that's my goal to get that together this last week.

Love + Blessings

Confused

Maybe, there's a reason for all the pain. Maybe not? But what I know for sure, is that we can't take it all at once. I tried to be the good person, to give of myself, in the right way. Without hurting any one, or myself. I know I am not perfect, in any way. No one is. Really.  But, I also find it hard to imagine a world where there is less pain.

Angsty teen

I love looking at things I've written a decade ago - am I really getting that old? Then, some times you come across  a poem where you wonder what was going through you at the time. You can't really remember what brought you to that place where the poem came from. To be honest, I remember being an angsty teen and really focused on the bad things that were happening in my life, but still I can't remember who I wrote this about. I honestly always draw from my own experiences in life so this must have meant something to me. For the life of me, I wish I could remember. I published the following very short poem online in 2003: --- What can I say, to make it all better? What can I do, to make it last forever? What can I see, that you don't in me? ---- I find it funny now, that I could be so completely lost in someone to write such a poem. Yet, I think it comes with the territory of being a teenager. You obsess and worry and wonder why love hasn'

"Dancin' Away With My Heart"

So - I see a lot of people "dreading" the coming Valentine's Day... Honestly, I couldn't care less about this day. When I was in a long term relationship I'll admit that I, in the beginning, expected my partner to get me something on Valentine's Day. I soon realized that it didn't mean as much as when he just surprised me on an ordinary day with something out of the ordinary. In reality, Valentine's Day has nothing to do with love or appreciation. It's a corporately structured "holiday" where industries try to put an emphasis on one day where your partner "should" show his appreciation for you. Why would it matter on this particular day and less on other days? Ridiculous... Okay, I'll level with you guys. I believe in true love. Yeah I know what you're gonna say. Blah blah, women believe in true love and they always have. They want that knight in shining armour to come rescue them and won't give anything less than
