I missed this one, Daniel. You express yourself so well.
I’ve been there. Yes, I write about love, but the fact is that I’ve hardened my heart so no one can hurt me.

It doesn’t sound content; it sounds more like you’re resigned to it. I don’t think you’re boring.

Thanks Fia.
I don’t think I’m boring but others would because I shun the endless stimulation that they need to feel alive.

You’re anything but boring. You know that. I understand what you meant in your comment to Fia. I shun that endless stimulation too. I don’t need it.
I enjoy your writing.-

Thanks Alexandria…
It’s quite a hard gig standing your ground these days.If you don’t play the game you get called antisocial or the fun police or a killjoy.Small price to pay for being interesting…😘

I will continue to say those who believe the lies do so for their own corrupt reasons. Which begs the question…who is worse? The chief liars or those who choose to believe because it suits their agendas? I’ve lost friends & family to this current state of the world. Eyes wide open, mind wider. It’s the only way to make it through. Another solid write, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s truly a cult in my opinion, when no matter how much truth is revealed, they continue to follow. I don’t think most wanna see, or they actually like what the world is becoming. That’s how I see it, always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

An insightful write! Unfortunately the quill of the greats are considered rare goods nowadays.
Good job, Thomas!
