The two line summary actually hooked me into reading this Damian. Your command of words and imagery shows you are a masterful writer. Bravo! I’m going to have to read the rest of the chapters!

Damian this went to the bone! Thank you for sharing this. Let the ink pour.

Damian this is strong tonic and a grand read. Love how you wrote this with such great clarity like a beat writer for our modern age. My younger sister is a Trumpie and I have heard those conspiracy theories she believes about how Trump supposedly is being targeted politically but is innocent. No concern for the constitution of democracy. But you wrote your feelings with gusto and power. Great read my friend.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adira. So glad you enjoy these stories my friend. It means a lot to me, and I’m grateful for your continued support. Appreciate you.

I try to use Facebook only for Marketplace and it still manages to steal the precious moments from me.
What is the actual point of it besides being a massive income stream for the already rich.
Friends meet for coffee where words are supported by body language.Facebook friends are so many other things but mostly they’re just words.

99% of social media is trash. Go old school and meet people on the street or at places of social gatherings. Awesome write my friend.

Dear PD,

I hear ya! While I’m not on FB I know the feeling of losing hours on YouTube! Holy crap what am I doing? And how did I get to this point? And yet…those precious hours somehow alleviate a lot of the angst from my real world. Fab and relatable write. H🌷

Thanks H. YouTube is another one of my vices. But I totally agree about how they alleviate angst- and that’s no small thing since there is so much of it today.

Super good write, Pink. I have to tell you that I ended up in Facebook jail too often to continue the experience. Well, you know. I’m just that kind of outlaw.

Thanks, Adira. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for letting me know.

Facebook is hard

Life is easier

How the heck do you even use Facebook… I can’t even get it to work…

OMG… am I that old?!

Pink, I spend far too much time on facebook. It is a sea of chaos and confusion I find. Your poem is very wise and you see social media with clear eyes. Like Emerson said, “As if we could kill time, without injuring eternity.”

Your storytelling kicks ass Damian. Rock on my friend!

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adira. I’m so glad you enjoy these stories. “Never say never, never say die.” Those are very relatable words to me. Appreciate you.
