I\u2019m sure my Facebook friends were relieved because I sort of had this thing to ramble on in long extensive posts never getting to a point. At first it was fun, using WordPress and playing around with everything until I was finally Content, and it reflected my style. That was sort of enough&#8230; but then I discovered something about myself which I\u2019m shy to admit\u2026a type of egotistical vanity&#8230;no one was reading &#8211; and it bugged me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">I wanted to vent and rant on&#8230;but it\u2019s totally futile, when there is no one listening. I am too shy to randomly say to friends \u201cHere is the web address to my blog\u2026read it\u201d. So, I decided to create a Facebook page to reach at least one soul. Eleven of my friends liked it and I felt so special and overwhelmed!\ud83e\udd70 A little sad as well because some did not even acknowledge its existence\u2026but overall, I was grateful (even though only one actually visited the blog page\u2026.) Over and above that, it gave me something to do! To be useful again?&nbsp; Even the Facebook page was delightful \u2013 trying to figure stuff out and a nice new experience (over and over again&#8230;thanks to my working memory \ud83d\ude02) Random words from a random rabbit, scarred and lost with random little memes and random quotes from cool people \ud83d\ude0e It made me feel less\u2026 less useless. I\u2019m still intelligent\u2026or at least, I \u2018think\u2019 I am. I can still do certain stuff, but way slower (no really <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">way <\/span>slower&#8230;) I used to be bad at math, but now I suck balls\u2026even with simple adding or subtracting! But my language skills are still intact &#8211; Yes, I know. My tenses are atrocious and I fuck up your and you&#8217;re at times, but still not too bad&#8230;Oh FFS! NO, I don\u2019t feel sorry for myself\u2026It is what it is\u2026I\u2019m just trying to explain how easy it is to get lost and start believing crap like \u2013 everybody will be better-off, when I\u2019m no longer around\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">In any case\u2026last night an individual commented on my page \u201cWell ramble along&#8230;. Show worth before I accept x\u201d. Accept? Excuse me?\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f \ud83d\ude05 my one friend told me he was going to send invites to others to go and like my page! Worth\u2026interesting word&#8230;(mmmm word-worth&#8230;urgh! back to the point!! ADD suck!) That word, caused a night of thinking deep thoughts\u2026you know the kind? The one\u2019s where you solve the problems of the universe! What is worth? What is worthy? Am I of worth, if I make you <em>laugh <\/em>with a silly meme? Am I of worth, if I make you <em>think <\/em>with an inspirational quote? Am I of worth to other broken souls, who need to know that they are not alone, even if they feel they are the only ones dealing with an <em>invisible disability<\/em>? Or maybe I\u2019m looking at this at a completely wrong angle \ud83e\udd14 Is worth actually a monetary value? Because then I\u2019m fucked! I am on disability and can\u2019t earn money anymore! But I do have a little bit going to my daughter\u2019s when I\u2019m gone &#8211; does that count for anything? They won\u2019t be millionaires but will at least be able to buy a little home\u2026 or party their heart\u2019s out for a good couple of years! Does that make me worthy? You see, now I am exactly at the same point I was in the previous paragraph\u2026everybody will literally be better-off when I\u2019m no longer around\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">OMW before anyone panic!! I\u2019m just realising now, that some might read this the wrong way!!! I\u2019m <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">not<\/span> suicidal and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">not<\/span> depressed\u2026they have pills for that now you know \ud83d\ude0f But, I am confused and trying to find my standing in this world&#8230; This actually inspired me to create a HUGE rant of gigantic proportions regarding social media and a whole culture that\u2019s developing! I just need to get pissed off enough first before I subject others to it\u2026So what did we learn today children? We learned that if you are looking for worth on any social platform, you might consider rethinking your values\u2026.\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started this blog (more like a diary to be honest) because I felt the need\u2026a calling if you will.
