I used to really enjoy talking to people. I've never actually spoken to anyone I've met on this platform. These words have always been my "voice" and I'll keep it that way. I too enjoy a good conversation/exchange of ideas. Like your previous message from awhile back here under this post, I can agree those are hard to find.
I miss having fun, mostly. Don't really have much to say, unless I'm prompted. And I just keep my feelings locked away. Don't want to be a burden.
I think that's the same for most humans nowadays. Isn't it?
Some of us are just more honest about it, perhaps. Or aware of it, maybe.
Anyhoo... I no longer take anything much seriously as "real" unless I see and hear it myself. In person, nowadays, as well.
I'm tired. And even thinking requires energy. So streamlining big time. I can't be assed with all our human "cleverness" and subterfuge anymore. It's exhausting! And a bit boring now tbh. :)
Seems a bit childish when you think about it, doesn't it? Hiding behind made up identities. Eh...
But yes. We need to stay safe from each other. Isn't that sad?
Which explains why some of us feel so shit a lot of the time :D And it makes it easier to not get too caught up in it when we accept it, perhaps.
I'm bummed because Tristan and Adam are playing at my favourite festival today and I can't afford to go. Because #CapitalismIsExpensive !
And #IgnoranceIsExpensive as it turns out.
I had a dance here at home, as usual, anyway because that's how I roll.

p.s. Never a burden to have a real conversation with a real human. Isn't that the fucking point of all of this?
Cool prompt there. That line brought up some thoughts. Everywhere online people create an identity of sorts and that's where we see people the most nowadays, generally speaking. So nowhere near being hidden.
When you're born someone made up your "identity" for you. Boils down to just being a label that says literally nothing about you, as a human. If one is truly being themselves, living up to their "identity" would be impossible, wouldn't it? How can one actually be a name?
Some of the most well-known people today and throughout history worked behind pseudonyms. Still needed to be themselves in order to find success. Could hardly be considered childish and they certainly weren't hidden.
Of course I'm well aware some people create characters online in order to create some distance between themselves and who they're being, but in this day and age writing everyone off as a hidden phony or lesser human because they chose their own label doesn't make much sense.
Sit next to someone on the bus or train or anywhere and have a conversation. You don't even know their name. Knowing it isn't even a requirement. They're still cool and the things they said were still interesting. And all the passersby are unknowns, yet still very real.
P.S. I know I sound stoned, but I'm not. lol
And I will agree, yes, it is sad (tremendously sad) some only exist on this planet to get a thrill out of attempting to destroy others, especially when it takes about the same amount of effort to help someone who's struggling and build them back up.
:) You never sound stoned. You sound more coherent that you've ever been right now.
Good points all. As always.
Yes. I guess it depends entirely on motivation. As always. #KISS :D
Morning!
Just wanted you to know that was a pretty funny compliment.
Well that's good news. Because laughter is the best medicine and all that. And we humans can be pretty funny :)
I enjoyed making people laugh. If I leave this place for good, those would be my final words.
Best thing ever really :D A good belly laugh!
It changes everything.
Happy Friday to you. Been an interesting week here and not. much time online.
Lots of laughs though. I'm travelling with the teen. He's hilarious :D
