Okay, beloveds, permit me to go on a mini rant. Just a teensy weensy one.
In surfing YouTube I have come across soooooooooooooooooooo many pages of folks who need to be ‘influenced’ into what to think, buy or do. And, apparently, one MUST be associated with just THE right type of folk else…*shrug*.
Beats me, apparently, us regular folk are too regular and the only purpose we serve is to serve the ‘privileged’ influencers who are our guide to a ‘successful’ life of hoarding every gadget known to man in order to ‘be happy’.
SMH.
Okay, mini rant is over. I find it terribly sad folks think they are not enough. Just makes me want to kick something.
Beloveds, you ARE enough. Just YOU. You don’t need to fill your place with gadgets you can’t afford, will never use, and will wonder what the world the matter with you for buying such, to have value.
Value is NOT in things. Yes, enjoying your space is nice. That said, the roof over your head does NOT increase or diminish YOUR worth and value.
There are times, like today, where I am not feeling the greatest. Bills keep chasing me. Health issues keep laughing at me. Life keeps passing out fresh what on earth is all this?!
During those times, I would dearly love to be able to hide out on a beach somewhere and have someone feed me grapes and pay all my bills. Okay, I would get bored after a while but wouldn’t mind a good day or so of pampering.
After that, I want to be making my own way, in the world. I want to shake all these young folks and let them know to STOP trying to build a life of dependence on others to pay bills and ‘make them happy’.
I know. I know, young peeps, that old folks do the same. I want to kick them also. Just a smidge.
I love the internet. I love learning about folk from all over the world. That said, I wish I could tell the internet to take two seats, at times. And, to tell it to STOP lying to folk, on the daily!
Life is more than TikTok and Instagram and thisachat and thatachat! Whew. Whew!
I’m done. I think. I’m just doing my bestest to influence folks to think, for themselves. To dream. For themselves. To hope. For themselves. To live. For themselves!
Be your own influencer. What do YOU enjoy doing? Life is short. Do those things that will serve you and enhance your life. What that is, for you, is…*shrug*…up to YOU to decide.
Don’t get down on yourself because folk are not into what you are into. So what? Because someone you have never met, does not care for the things you do…*shrug*. So?
More and more I am hearing folk are ‘miserable’ and feel like a ‘failure’ because things have not happened in two to three years. Things take time.
In the meantime, beloveds, give yourself a break. If you are doing the best you know, good on you. Don’t be ashamed of your current circumstances. Life is good. Even when it gets tough.
Uh, oh! I hear a cup of coffee calling me. Join me, if you like. Bring some snacks.
yammering about not much,
