I think I need a break for a while. I'm not going to be on as much or as chatty as I have in the past. Winter is not a good time for me. Work has increased in direct proportion to the decrease in sunlight. This means that I'm overworked, overly moody, and just not for human consumption right now. I'll be back when it's over. I hope everyone survives the holidays relatively unscathed. Konichiwa, people.

Take care. And some Vitamin D2?

Cerebellion. Do come back soon.

It sucks that I appear to have traded my life for job security by moving up here. I miss my life. I just had to post it somewhere.

Feeling trapped by living in a place that you find is not mentally healthy for you is awful.

 

[mlp]

I'm sorry, and I hope something improves for you soon.

I know the feeling. Just getting along with your life sometimes means having to bend to the whims of society and that can be soul-sucking. I escape with music and books. And though I KNOW they are the remedy to feeling better, for one reason or another I avoid them when I need them most. When I give in and realize how much better everything is when I tap into their magic I wonder what the hell was wrong with me in the first place.

Hang in there, brother.

I don't know this world, you know? I spent almost 33 years down south and it became the only world that I really know. When I moved up here, it's like I moved into a different world, one that I don't know at all. I'm trying to find my way around it, but it's hard when I don't have anyone to talk or relate to around here. I'm probably going to move further south within the next year or so for my own sanity, if nothing else. It sounds really dumb in my own mind that I'm shipwrecked in my own country, but that's how I feel.

We didn't post back and forth too much, but I hope everything works out well for you.

I don't like winter either- the long dark nights here in upstate N.Y. get me down sometimes, but mostly it's the ice underfoot (I get around by walking mostly). I'd relocate, but my social ties to this area are important to me.

If you say so, man.

I don't know specifically where you're talking about - but I have friends who moved from NYC to various New England locations - whom also felt quite lost and slightly unwelcome. One moved back to NYC and the other stuck it out but has moved several times before being able to comfortably settle in. Those are difficult waters to navigate - so the shipwrecked analogy is apropos.

It's hard to remember that I even had a personal thread on here since it's been so long since I've used it. I'm hardly one for the dramatic, so I'll be blunt: I'm quitting the board. The primary reason being is that I hardly ever use it anymore. I find myself having less and less to say on here. I can't really seem to get emotionally invested in the discussions anymore. Other than posting somewhat amusing mood gifs and an occasional gripe, I can't think of the last time I actually talked to anyone on here about anything serious.
I hate be this blunt about it, but it's true. I'm getting that way about social media as well. I almost never post anything personal on there and the only reason why I keep it is because 99 percent of my friends either can not or will not pick up their phones to keep in touch with me. I'm not sure which one it is yet, honestly. Anyway until the time comes that I find a reason to keep doing this, I'm going to cut the cord and hide in my bunker. Take care of yourselves. I'll be around the 'book if anyone wants or needs me. Somehow I doubt it, though.

 

[PTree15]

I will miss you, Cerebellion, but I understand. You take care of yourself as well and do hang in there.

 

[KLS52]

Sorry to read this. I will miss you, too. I understand the feeling of disconnect and I wish you well. Please take care of yourself and don't hesitate to reach out to us if/when you ever feel the need. You are always welcome here.

 

[Scorpius]

But who will I get Keith Richards memes from on Facebook now?! @Cerebellion You do what's right for you, dude.

[Mischief]

Do what's necessary to take care of yourself, but please don't isolate yourself too much.

 

[KLS52]

Hope you are doing ok.
