About Myself
I love to explore and meet wonderful people.
I've met many sweet and kind folks—and yes, my share of assholes too.
I mean, it's easy to be a complete asshole behind the anonymity of a keyboard, so it's a must for them to destroy the happiness and joy of others.
...sort of like bad bacteria; it's just in their nature.
I just choose not to be one of them in their colony of chaos. Thank you...
I'm highly allergic to drama, so I tend to apparate as far away as possible if I find myself in the middle of it.
It's a medical condition that has no cure.
I've even walked away from people I had once considered friends just because I would not take part in their reality show drama, where I got tired of drowning in it day after day. I realized that if they were truly my friends, they would have respected the fact that I had requested - several times - that they leave me out of something that had nothing to do with me. But no, I wasn't their "friend" or part of their "family" if I didn't take sides, and of course the only side to take was theirs, even though I knew absolutely nothing about the situation at hand.
So yes, sometimes it's better to walk away and let them hate you than to stay and hate yourself...
It's always exhausting to be around that kind of energy. Some people love it because it gives them something to think about; others enjoy the rush of it; some even like it because it makes them feel a part of something bigger than themselves; and some because it makes them feed the self-importance of their own pompous existence.
You see, I log on here to get away from the sometimes toxic atmosphere of RL, where hate and entitlement have become the latest plague for which there seems to be no vaccine. I log on here for peace of mind and for the special people and places I meet along my journeys. I don't log on to absorb the same kind of toxic environment as RL. When I'm here, I leave that world far behind me, which is why I never discuss my RL; it's frankly no one's business but my own, and to be fair, I really don't care about yours either.
There are so many stunningly beautiful places, reflecting the grace, wisdom, and knowledge of their builders.
Places that I want to see and enjoy.
I always try my best to be kind to people, which doesn't make me a rug to be stepped on or a condiment to be used and discarded.
What it does make me, though - is just a little Me in a vast world of Beauty.
