Quittin'

I realized...

It's ridiculous to try to tweet to get to people, to reach people... when even the people who follow you do not read your posts. It's ridiculous the amount of time to spend to fit into 140 characters, optimizing. It's ridiculous the amount of time to spend trying to find people to tag in photos so that you may get somewhere.

I really believe that what I'm trying to do is worth the news, I really believe what I have done is worth the news. I really believe the things I'm saying is as important as if not more than most of the things that people with millions of followers say, I really believe the things I'm saying is as important as if not more than most of the posts that get thousands of likes and retweets on Twitter or likes and shares on Facebook.

I'm giving up. Of course not what I do. But I am giving up trying to find somebody to support me, trying to reach people to get myself known so that I can get my ideas known and sown. I am giving up on these things until I've got nothing more important to do in life. I'm giving on these things so that I can spend my time writing the things I have in my mind and enjoy my own life. Trying to get your voice heard in a world full of cacophony is not something I particularly wish to do. Neither do I have a desire to be a part of such a world. So I really am quitting. My articles and posts are out here in the cyberspace if someday someone stumbles upon them and thinks they're worthwhile. My thoughts are out there in the cyberspace for anybody to read for free. I have my life to live and things to do. Writing gives me satisfaction. Using social media to share my writing does not. Because I expect some socialness there, and I cannot find it. Whereas writing is a lonely affair and gives me satisfaction whether anybody reads what I write or not. It's fun to do the kitten running after her own tail, but it's nice to know that your tail -or in other words, happiness- will follow you if you walk ahead. Just hold your head up high.
