comments
i really miss the comments. the views, the praise, or just the acknowledgement that i don't exist solely in my little world. it's all online from nameless people, but strangely enough i care what they think. and yes, i get that little pang of pleasure that people paid attention to that particular photo. me, me, me.
it is a bit sad that i need such to bolster my self-worth. getting on "explore" really doesn't make me a better person. neither does getting 100 favs.
ok, i'll just admit it, i'm shallow. maybe this withdrawal thing is good for me. i don't know.

losing my soul
is it because, i don't get time to myself? time for my friends? time for me to do my yoga, writing, running?
that i'm second guessing myself for every decision, and hating myself for it in the mean time?
i feel... my life energy being zapped away.

at that point
when you die -
would you prefer to be very successful, but to have some regrets about some things you were unable to achieve?
or, would you want to be unachieving (relatively speaking, by normal standards), but content and spiritually fulfilled?
spiritual fulfilment is usually linked with the acceptance of fate, whereas that goes against our desire and ambition to do our best and to exceed our limits. one achieves "big" things by having great expectations and going for them. where exactly is the happy medium?

time off
so with just a few clicks, have removed a large part of my digital footprint. should flickr go as well? maybe at some point.
not that it matters, and not that anyone really cares or notices.
so what happens when it's gone?

obvious
have been contemplating "happiness", or bliss, or contentment, or any one of those words and concepts. mostly about why, and how.
a couple somewhat obvious observations, but in any case the result of a good bit of pondering:
1. probably, being happy is better than being unhappy, under almost all circumstances (except in those sylvia plathic instances)
2. if #1 is true, then the search is for sustainable happiness. the question that needs to be asked is whatever it is we are seeking - more money, greater achievements, etc, lead to sustainable happiness, or these are still subject to the law of diminishing returns, and inherently we are doomed.
hmm....
