I feel this way a lot of the time. Like an alien who doesn’t fit in with things.
I do relate. I was a weird little kid who didn't fit in.
I still don't fit in. But that is good because fitting in my family is to be be abusive.
Now I am a bit more connected to myself and not as fragmented I can manage a little bit better. But my social battery is very low. Once it runs out I have to recharge and that takes time.
You hit it perfectly. All I want is a quiet simple life. Instead I have to deal with constant BS. I really don’t want any part of this shut up and buy world. Those clowns don’t even know they are living in an illusion. Thus I wonder if it is worth continuing.
I keep away from folks mostly. I do what I can to help, in small ways, to help ecosystems repair and I do small, homemade, humble, handmade contributions. It is an illusion buying all that stuff etc so I try to keep out of it. Boycotting when I can.
I understand, the BS gets really loud and it’s really hard to cope. Let’s hope we are both able to achieve a quiet simple life! I like the thought of that. It’s a place of warmth and comfort.
I am going for a quiet, simple life. The best I can.
I got a bit derailed with the cyclone hitting & that crazy mould damage and the house next door burnt down and the resultant smoke damage inside my house. The Insurance Company has been very poor in-service delivery, site management and actual repairs.
It will be good to get back to a quiet life.
Intergenerational change takes a lot of work. I like to think, those of us, on the cutting edge, are creating pathways for those that follow us. Small, handmade contributions but contributions nonetheless.
