Sooooo, i chose to exclude myself from social media for awhile, to become a recluse who talks to plants and feels all things in all things, who sloughs off the feelings of everyone else's lives and immerses themselves in their own simple portrait.
i became too invested with other people. it polluted my ability to determine important vs. "the now."..... and after a few months, well, i feel like....a recluse. My emotions have just shifted.
i'm re-reading "Dandelion Wine." It was my favorite book when i was 13. Bradbury's writing is lilting, often lofty, yet i thirst for every line. the king of nostalgia. The wine of youth and innocence and discovery..... my husband's dad is dying. i think i'll send a copy to Liz, his wife...After all, the Happiness Machine was a failure, but the best kind of failure.....
