Love how you do this every year Kellie. I'm really not doing well at the moment. Struggling with loneliness, bad health...
ReplyDeleteI've had to disappear from Twitter for a bit...the effect it has on me, is not good. Seeing others spread hatred and mindless trolling...really depresses me, the news fill me with anxiety.
On Twitter you and I speak quite often, we follow a lot of the same people, and you always make me smile. Recently I discovered someone similar to you, a great blogger/writer I like, had muted me. I had a weird feeling for a long while, because whenever I spoke to her, she never replied. We used to chat a lot, I even wrote for her own blog once, but lately, she just stopped talking to me. When I finally figured it out, i felt so, so stupid. I know it's silly, it's "just" social media, but it takes me back to my school days, being ignored by the cool girls, laughed at. I try to stay positive, focus on feeling better, taking care of my health, but very easily I feel lost, and worthless, and then I start thinking about disappearing...just to make it all stop. Just to catch a breath.
So, I'm staying away from Twitter, for my own sake. I don't hate social media, after all, it's is how I found you. You are always so funny and positive, and smile-inducing, even when you are angrily ranting about sexist or sizeist brands, Trump or whatever you thing is worth fighting against. I really do admire you.
This is a very difficult time of the year for me, but just reading this post, with a list of resources, just the sentiment...makes me think that maybe I'm not such a weirdo, not the only one feeling this way. Makes me breathe a little more easily.
I can't hate social media too much, and probably will go back to it one day, because through it I got to know you. There is good out there. Have a wonderful end of the year and an even better 2017.
Thanks Kellie x Shared on my blog and linked back to you as always Merry Christmas x
