oh. my. goodness.
I'm the same way - I think our sad is a beautiful gift because I can FEEL it in another person, even if they hide.
I've often been asked "how did you do that?" when everyone else is kinda wandering around - smiling - joking - under the mask i see and feel that pain. tangibly.
because I know it. and i can see it in the eyes and feel it through my body.
I hated the pain I went through - but what a silver lining to be able to help heal others - right???
@galenkp and I were just talking about this the other day... how toxic facebook is and how much HAPPIER we are without it. I deleted mine in 2017. (i needed to reactivate it for a short season for something... that ended up not even being worth the irritation LOL) it went right back on deactivation hahahahaha
I'm so glad that you came to my post to connect with me - and now here I am coming to connect with you and I'm already addicted.
can't wait to read more from you - and yes.... I'm the same way about the sad. We don't have to display it to everyone but we don't have to hide it from everyone either. In the right moments, being genuine and vulnerable connects hearts beyond the sad. love this post :)
Thanks so much! You are a veteran, I congratulate you for giving up Facebook for so long. It is a show of the sad in there most of the cases. I mean I knew some of the people from my list in real life. They were plain lying on Facebook, pretending to be happy and peaceful when the truth was that they were miserable and a bad company to be around in real life. At a point it becomes disturbing to see that people consider it normal and almost necessary to pretend. The amount of time invested in maintaining that false online image was shocking. Hours and hours, dozens of happy photos.....and the real relationships were far away from the "happy show". So yeah I don' t want to see that anymore. I want authenticity and people who can deal with their own misery and fix it in real life. After all we are only born once so lying to yourself for years just to please others is an insult at the divine gift of life which was given to us
Thanks so much for reading🤗🤗
