Happy Saturday Yall. This one is interesting. For the umpteenth time, My facebook habits were just referred to as self absorbed. I have my justifications for this, its the only social media outlet I can operate with ANY degree of effectiveness, Its the easiest place to have access to most of my community at large, I have a certain lack of filter due to brain injury which causes me to overshare, blah blah blah, but the concern is well founded and something I have compassion for. My question I suppose, is this: With the advent of a new record, new chapter in my life, new people in my immediate circle, etc, Should I swear off facebook and if so, what would be more effective? For now, Im home for the holidays and using the family computer for this sort of thing, so my posts between now and new year will be relatively infrequent, but I may stop communicating via this medium in the new year apart from answering chats and private messages. For me, it occurs to me like Im just sick of having my natural tendencies objected to, however understandably. However, Im making some rather drastic if long overdue alterations to my lifestyle. No drinking over Christmas, (which is easy because Im home with family) Then no drinking throughout the duration of the making of this record, (I ended up drinking black tea for the first time ever during Thursdays writing session, not having my largely toxicly fuelled body reject it, lol, and taking it as a sign from God. Seriously. Then permanent sobriety, just because heck, I will have come that far and Ill probably be over it. Minimal smoking, (cold turkey over the holidays followed by avoiding it like the plague in my subsidized housing building, where I am offered an average of 5 - 10 cigarettes a day by random folks just because Im friendly, magnetically personable when not depressed , and theres a correlation between smoking and the culture of poverty.) And meditation (my friend Priya Kesavan Gave me a way to conduct a meditative inquiry without having to discipline myself in a conversation this morning (god/universe, What is my soul meant for today? Then just walk and get whatever shows up. I can do it whilst drinking coffee! Im Psyched!) This Year has been a journey and a half for me and Im committed to ease, peace, and a new lifestyle showing up with velocity next year. Thank you more than many of you will ever fathom, (unless youve experienced mental/ spiritual. instability.) to all of those who have been so supportive of me this year and May God/Jesus/ Allah/ Buddha/ Vishnu/ Whatever/ whomever the Sikhs are seeking these days, (sorry, Im not familiar.) keep you loved, safe, warm, and provided for this holiday season. I love and/or am great full for all of you! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo! That should tide yall over till new years. Thanks in advance for reading and commenting!! Merry Christmas yall!! youtu.be/VFCeCs7cNH8
