Blocked,
unblocked,
deleted,
then installed,
but at the moment, blocked.
I had to cut off all contact
to get my mind right.
I had to check myself
before I lost myself.
I distanced myself to seek myself.
And when I found myself,
I lost my appetite for you,
taste buds change
-- Tene Edwards, "Walk With Wings"
I stumbled into Tene Edward's book of poems and found her irony... intriguing.
She's probably talking about other social media sites, of course. 🤔
Tene, empowers those suffering in silence and delivers comforting words and hope — to those feeling lost and alone.
Below are several other worthy thoughts Tene has penned in her collection.
"I thank God for removing the toxic people from my life, in the times when I could not find the strength to remove them myself.”
“Stop complaining about a situation
that you have chosen to settle in.”
“You must find the courage to leave the table if respect is no longer being served.”
Everything and everyone ... has their time. 😶
Do you have a plan?
... i don't have a plan... i'll just gradually let things wilt...

Glad to provide the pitt-stop. 🤗
Sad but true Paul. Whether we like, or even admit it, we do all change - are we the same person we were when very young? Hey, and hopefully we're wiser - in "all" ways! :
Hopefully. Although, some of us (me) are still learning. 😂👍
There's a snowstorm outside this morning, making it perfect for a walk. I have extra scarves, mitts, boots and hats. All you need is the airfare. 🤗
It’s not about giving up or walking away,
It’s knowing when to rest and not to stay.
Then the moment will arrive when you understand,
Some things fade without a plan.

Ahh "Limp"... 🤗
Thanks for the song and words.
My neighbours have had enough sleep. 😲💕
@Paulxx001
Hopefully they didn't "plan" to sleep in. 🫨💤😂
Gud shot
And perfect lighting. 👍
I just wing it most days with no set plans other than say work and talking to or spending time with my kids once a year for three weeks. All we can do is live in the moments, day by day as plans often go awry..xoxo
And if that works for you, why fix it? 🤗👍
Intimate
I agree; that position certainly is. 🤗
Great i love it
I'm glad you do. 👍
I'm supposed to have a plan?! Well, shit! I wish I had been told sooner. I wonder if it's too late now?
"Supposed to" is a bit strong. "Some do." It's just a suggestion. I don't think it's ever too late — until it is. 😲😂
“When I found myself, I lost my appetite for you”. Brilliant. She sounds great.
That's one line that made me pause. 😶
"Letting go"… yes, it's a good idea sometimes, but it's easier said than done depending on who is him. I’m certainly not very good at it, though with 'someone', I probably should be…
...by the way, I know 'someone' who has been applying to me for years exactly what the first poem in your post says… though even though I read it and understand it, I don’t 'get' it…
@AuraAviatik6
That person is trying to avoid you... but they can't.
Hmmm... interesting.
Letting go is never easy if you care for them.
Some people here, just "block" them.
@Paulxx001 I can block someone here, in the virtual world, but not in the real world, though at times I should…
@Paulxx001 I was talking about Dean, el escocés, as you know…
My plan would be to slip quietly... into the sunset one day.
I just need a horse.🤔
Some days I just want to slip quietly away
That's a beautiful sunset. I used to see that when I lived in Arizona, wish I could go back.
@stonie1965
I understand what you mean.
Beautiful sunsets are beacons for all of us. 💕
