THE SOCIAL MEDIA SUMMER SABBATICAL CONTINUES: day 5

globetoppers2 Comments

Remembering – what it was like “before”.  Prior to these past 8 years when creative personal experience (thought)  transformed (more) through art, writing and photography. Poetry. Letters.

Remembering- away from the feeling of “no responses” (See also: no likes/favs/loves) and ego transforming  that feeling to “rejection. you’re unloved by your peers.”

Freedom from constant external negative reinforcement.

Remembering- I don’t need to interpret “my experience” in order for it to be.

The yard is full of monarchs today. I realize I’m “allowed” to use my VINE account and document 6 seconds of backyard. I don’t share the clip anywhere. Heaven.

Stomach virus. Normally, someone would be wondering why I wasn’t tweeting.

Peek at my other anonymous  twitter account. Immediately close. Later peek at my main accounts notifications and SEE A NUMBER. “Why are people @ing me? I’m off? Can’t you see?” Don’t check. I text my niece and then call. We talk for 2 hours.

I’m reading the Times and news sites daily. What do you mean I can’t sound off about Freddie Gray? Sanders on Colbert”?  BBC America’s new show “Thirteen”? The 25 hour congressional sit-in for gun control?  (I call Senators Rubio and Nelson.)

 “West Side Story” is on TCM and I can’t announce the irony of witnessing SCOTUS thwart Immigration Reform 55 years later…I like to be in America?

KELLY CARLIN WHEREVER YOU ARE (which is Scotland today along with Trump) – I CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE NOT ON #SM FOR #BREXIT .

“Good Morning! I love you, Lisa!”

Did I say that? To myself? Should I even turn my phone on? I will to check texts. No texts. I can do this.

Hot water and lemon juice, sun-greeting, coffee. I’ve usually already checked all (3) of my Twitter accounts and scanned Facebook. I continue to read the paper. Where’s Sunday’s NY Times? I wonder how many retweeted my LAST tweet last night? Why am I still getting notifications on Facebook? How do I uninstall this? I can do this. Looking forward to my own outrage! It’s the first day of summer.

Is the sky bluer today?

17 hours since last Social Media Post :

Quiet. Such quiet the RINGING is so loud in my ears. But. Still.

Feeling of stillness. Anxious. Happy not to be checking in and looking down every time I pass my phone!

I have an outside experience and don’t tweet or Facebook the moment.

24 hours:

If I could tweet, I would tweet out I-CAN-FUCKING-DO-THIS (and it’s great and freeing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)
