Hello, world?

~herdis

Hey guys, I am a new user here and I'd like to rant for a tiny bit.

I stumbled upon this pug by accident. I wasn't exactly searching for a quiet place on the internet. I am not used to internet being quiet. Internet described as quiet is almost paradoxical for me. My relationship with internet is screwed up. I am paralysed by it. I grew up with it but as I developed, it developed as well. And not for the better. It is just recently when I realised that it's not the world I am supposed to live in. My world, real world is waiting for me but I can't get past the dreaming state. I am a mere vessel designed to live an artificial life that has engulfed my reality. Will I ever be able to revert to a life that is authentic? A reality that is worth living for?

We're fundamentally quiet down where no concept/word can go. Abide/remain there. Don't just "know" the show to be a dream: marvel in its dreaminess, and rest in how it cannot touch the ineffable you so long as you don't identify with a person/self in the show.

Escapism can be truly addicting, especially with the state of the world right now. I came here in search of some peace and company too ( I am a new user too Hi). I feel you lots and I'm trying a new plan to feel something other than the web void, I have decided that every interaction I will have from now on (irl or virtual) will be in aim to either connect or grow. I put definitions of both growth and connection and hopefully I'll leave the zombie state and I wish you do too, wholeheartedly. You already have everything you need, yourself, and the time will pass anyways so I wish you best of luck <3

Howdy!

~bartender? A big jar of that home made lemonade, please! And maybe a couple cinnamon rolls for starters. Thanks!

Ah, ~bartender? You still have some of those blue pills left for the new comer? They might enjoy a disconnect from the borg-web for a bit. :)

~herdis, there is only one way out of the borg-web. Shut down your machine, leave the smart phone in its loader and go out. There are real people out there! Really! They are possibly interested in real conversation, too! Try it! Then come back these days and tell us, how it went. Good luck!
