I've been here nearly three years and invested all of about five minutes into Discord, just to get an account setup that I decided I'd probably never use.
Any internet time I have, I spend it here, working on my blog, maintaining my connections with people who invest their time in me.
I'm down to about one explosion under a blog post per week. I gave someone shit for spamming my wallet last week. I gave another guy shit for downvoting people on my blog and making mess of my comment section, this week. That's pretty damn good considering I'm not usually that good at putting up with bullshit.
For nearly three years, I've mainly focused on my own thing. Rarely am I seen outside of this place. How I managed to find some measure of success sticking to myself so much baffles me, but it's been working.
If I want to rant, I rant. Some people like my rants. When I need a break, I take a break; nobody seems to mind.
It's really easy to get distracted by that 10% that goes wrong in life. It makes that 90% of what's good nearly invisible. There are a lot of things I'd like to be able to control here, because I know if I had my way, some things could be better. Nothing will ever be perfect though. If I was in charge, I'd make mistakes. We're just a bunch of fuck ups in our own little way and I don't exclude myself from that group, I can blend right in and just roll with it. I can also ramble on under any post I feel like rambling under. Yup.
Yes and I actually admire those that can just steer clear. I can’t completely as my whole curation group is based out of discord and from day one of being here I was involved in some sort of project that worked from discord.. so sadly it’s taken much of my time from the beginning.
But there is no reason why I can’t limit it to those things, actually politely tell people no when asked to help with everything and just ignore or block those who are just downright mean and feel the need to message me constantly to tell me all the things I do wrong.. I don’t really think I need that in my life 😂
I would much rather focus on my own projects, my own blog and engage and interact on the platform, while using discord as a needed tool to run some of those projects for now. So that’s the new goal..
I also love your ranting posts and used to love my own rant posts as well, they are so therapeutic. Somewhere along the way though I let others’ words about how I would never be taken seriously as I was “too controversial”, “call out important people too much”, “don’t play by the rules”’ and all those things held me back. I think I’m finally realizing that those people just were trying to control me for their best interest, and not my own. There is something freeing about realizing you are on your own... Takes a lot of the pressure off.
Me too 🙂 and quite frankly I like our little group of fuck ups... I think I’m just going to embrace that again and focus on being me.
Thanks for being you ❤️
Just do you and only go as far as two feet and your heartbeat can take you. That's still enough to go to the places you want to be and probably even further.
Don't let this place turn your hair gray; don't lose your smile.
They cannot have my smile or my cake.. that is where I draw the line.
Thank you for being kind, and funny, and well for making David look funny... he really needs the help.
David looks funny. Yes.
That is a pretty nice line. Simple, straight to the point (even if it’s not straight itself), and bright red so no one can miss it.
Well done sir.
And yes he does look funny.. it’s the best he can do after all.. as he’s jokes are horrid.
wonder how long it will take him to find this...
You think it's nice? Been drinking? I was trying my best to make that look hideous. I guess I'll have to try harder next time.
As for The David, well, it'll take him a few days but I know he likes tigors so this should cheer him up when he finally figures out how to open the door to the bathroom or whatever he's doing.
Well I mean, I was trying to be nice. Truth is my goat could draw a better line than that... I just didn’t want to hurt your feelings 😜
I love tigors!
Not as horrid as your English!
By the way...
How many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh?
My English is da best English dude.. don’t be jelly.
Oh.. and how many tickles?
Yup
