Addiction
Well, I’m through two days of my social media fast. It seems a bit odd but certainly doable.
Pretty crazy the way addiction sets in, always as a means of escape that temporarily numbs the occupant from the unbearable-ness of emotion.
Keep it stifled away too long and what do you get? dis-ease
Considering my myriad of addictions, how much emotion is there? I don’t know but I’m going to find out, one way or another.
This is the last night I spend in my little house. I’ve grown somewhat attached to it and have therefore stagnated, but perhaps there is silver lining within.. some say nothing changes, all remains the same.. all is illusion if you know how to play the game.

Interesting that social media becomes an addiction. Lately I’ve been wondering if my relationship with it is healthy. It seems to take an awful lot of time, and then I’m too tired to do other things. I don’t like that. Historically when something has that effect on me I withdraw and see what’s going on. I don’t like dependence like that.
Feeling feelings is pretty scary sometimes though. But indeed, with all these other addictions, I wonder how many feelings are left. Perhaps it’s better not to bury them with distraction…
I like keeping in touch with others, of course. And then I get to the point where I become a voyeur where I just distract myself with other people’s lives, start clicking link after link.. before you know, an hour has passed. I think, actually food is the most abused addiction especially when paired with watching something.. a very effective numbing technique.
