This is the time of year I start considering making another run at Facebook—catching up with old friends and strengthening bonds with people that have meant a lot to me. But, I hesitate:

I don't want the weight of their worlds to be yoked onto my shoulders.

Their mid-40s mindless reliance on the medical industry while in a stroked-out, limping-to-their-caskets stagger to an unremarkable endgame as they absolutely insist they don't need to improve is BEWILDERING. Their never-satiated desire to sit at The Cool Kid's Table by hungrily nodding in approval of evil is REVOLTING.

Who needs those lies?

As it has been said,

You'll never get nowhere smokin' the pipe...get rid of the drugs. Get away from the in crowd. Get'a close to God.

I'm not without my failures; I have been weak. I look over this past year's New Year's Resolutions and see I was perfect 0-for-forever. There was a time when I dreamed bigger—I felt confident of achieving success.

I pulled out the backup of my site from that New Year's Eve. I then played my YouTube Music generated Winter Recap '23. I just wanted to wrap my mind around the mindset I had: I was Geralt of Rivia, livin' on a prayer and dancing in the moonlight. I saw fire. I lived like we're alive.

Somewhere along the way, I accepted less. Far less.
