As per usual, you have given me a gentle and elegantly written nudge to think more critically about where I spend my time in the virtual world. I am grateful that I leave all connecting devices in my home office now so that I am not pulled into that vortex first thing in the morning or for dizzying minutes or more before sleep. But I am still ready for another digital detox retreat (for a few years perhaps) despite responsibilities that might limit that experience.
Thank you Bee. It's really a lot of mental work to discern what's worth the time and not all the time. But if it's of any comfort, the thought about creating boundaries (which you clearly have) vs. a breakup makes the overwhelm of retreating easier to stomach and more practical imo.
I am surprised to hear that -- you're such an active person. Maybe it doesn't feel as "exploitative" of your time as it does of mine. And don't forget I was there in the beginning before it turned into what it is now :)

Send you love.
You are a better person than I. I hate social media but it seems like the only place to get social interaction :-(
