RE: Social Media? It's complicated...
Def. better than the F-book which I have avoided at all costs the majority of my life. You have a lot to offer this platform / community....my version of your post is: 'I do what must be done just to get one day closer to The End' ! Despite extreme efforts there's no pleasure, seen and done it all but no pot of gold (or even one to piddle in) at the end of my life's rainbow. so I look forward to living vicariously through you ! Congratulations on your success in life and ability to make the most of every day.
Hi @lanceman!
First of all, thanks for your reply!
I would neither say that I'm especially successful, nor that I feel no pleasure in my life. I may have taken on the Spanish mentality a little too much concerning work-life-balance. Right now, it's tilted a lot more to the "life"-side than for the majority of people. That may change in the future but I feel like I'm currently making the best of it.
My advice to you would be to focus on prioritization of your tasks (if you can). I don't know what responsibilities you hold. However, from what I've seen the only things that really matter are connections with people. If you value those, you'll be fine in the end (and hopefully before that as well!) What would you need a pot of gold for in the end? No matter what the end is, you won't be able to take that pot with you anyways... ;-)
If you ever feel down and/or want to talk, let me know. I'm not a bundle of positivity but I always try to have an open ear.
Thank you @reaggyg ! I appreciate the kind words - you have a new friend and follower. Very good advice - tha Steemit is helping me on some level to work on my vacant social skills so that is certainly something !
No problem @lanceman! Always happy to help :)
What are you talking about when you say "vacant social skills"? You seem just fine to me. Of course, everyone can (and should) always work to improve oneself on some level. If you feel like you are lacking something, practice makes perfect.
Anyways, I'm of course happy to have gained a follower but more so to have a new internet-friend.
Thanks again @reaggyg ! I enjoy writing but in life I am def. a loner and have become as much of a recluse as possible at a young age. I seem to attract drama so much so that in order to cope I have learned I must avoid real life relationships at all costs. The Steemit allows me my social 'steem' which is rewarding in that sense !
I don't mean to be rude @lanceman but there is a quote that has helped me a lot:
