RE: Coffee-Induced Thoughts

in Cinnamon Cup Coffee2 years ago

I had to part with everything knowing that I was coming back to the Uk to live on a tiny boat.

I think that's what drives us crazy. It's a responsibility, the blouse you own, or the desk full of stuff, or the stuffed drawers. You have a responsibility toward them now and it's so messed up.

I agree about the Internet. You know, there's all these movements now to get off the Internet, and ditch all that toxic online world, and while I'm behind that, I also think it's kinda absurd. The Internet's what you make of it. If your time online is toxic, it's because you've chosen to engage in toxic interactions (mainly social media). In itself, the Internet could be amazing. :)

When I say the internet I really mean Hive because that's all I do these days. I have basically been off social media for about a year or more. I no longer browse my FB or IG. The accounts are there, but I just CANNOT read anything about people I know or strangers anymore. I just focus on self improvement and stay away from the toxic influence social media has. I keep the accounts open in case anyone tries to reach me, and that's the best shot. My life feels better for it.
I might have a few people who I find inspirational (like the strangest of all Russell Brand). I think he's such a great thinker, he has overcome so much to discover and accept his truth, and I think he's on another level, as a thinker and talker. I also like Sophie Esperanza, who speaks candidly about her spiritual journey, much of which I can relate to. They both have stripped their lives back to find truth. Russell Brand is gregarious and "out there"... it took me a long time to warm to him;)

I mean Hive mostly, too :D I just think the level of connection and discourse, in general, is so far beyond other social platforms...there's no comparison, really. You don't see the amount of toxicity or parroting on here (like on other platforms) 'cause I don't think you'd get away with it, you know? and that's amazing, especially that it's managed to maintain this sort of purity for so long.
I love Russell, too! :D But yeah, he's definitely not for every mood. I'll pop on a podcast sometimes, but if my mind's already scattered, I just can't focus on him, 'cause he jumps so quickly from one thing to another. I think his transformation's really cool, too. I don't know Sophie, but I'm gonna check her out tomorrow, though from the talk-up, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like her :D have a good night, my friend!

Yes, that's the same for me too. I've gotta be in the mood for him. But he is so aware and eloquent:)
