RE: Freedom is not free
Yes, I found the same thing with Facebook as well. When writing a blog, it forces me to contemplate what I am writing about. With Facebook it was too easy to complain or get sucked into somebody else rant. I too find this environment much more supportive and engaging. I will see how many 'friends' I will lose with the shift. Mind you, I am under no delusions as I recognize lots of people want something from me due to my activism and life style. Few reach out to me without expectations that I give them something that will make them free, which as we all know is an illusion. I cannot free anybody as it is and always was the individuals sole responsibility. If people really want to learn, then they will find me here. If they wanted me around for comfort, then they will find a hole now. Either way, I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the emotional support.
people will always try to drain your energy if you are a positive person. As your light shines brighter, you attract more people to you, which is great when you have a positive message to share. However, people feel good around you and want more of it. Just make sure you protect your energies from being drained by leeches :)
Oh yes. I am very aware of that. Setting boundaries is critical, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual boundaries are key! Thank you for the reminder. <3
