    • I sincerely wish the bookmark worked for me, but try as I might it doesn’t. This will be permanently bookmarked in my mind though

      • Thanks for reading and the compliment.
        The Bookmark feature works but not as it should.The Bookmarks are only being stored in your Browser history and when you clear your history you also clear your bookmarks….just saying.💋

    • hello dearest Benny I guess I love our terrible creator because he is terrible like me of me like him…he never leaves me alone though the godly people abandones me right away… you can only do your best and life isn’t a fairy tale I get it with the memories 💕 great write…

        Memories are very unreliable.They are patched together using perceptions and biases….don’t trust them.

    • I wouldn’t mind if we did away with platitudes altogether. It’s entirely too easy for people to quote one of them at you without really thinking of any sort of meaningful response that might better fit the situation.

    • “Love & light” or “positive vibes only” also come to mind. Toxic positivity is a real issue….people have to be able to grieve, to get frustrated and angry and complain on occasion. These are unpleasant things that all humans must experience.

      One of my least favorite to hear is “be yourself”, which too often means “confirm my biased opinions of you”.
