You’d be missed. A singer did that a few months ago and I still wonder what happened. Her songs are still in my playlists on Spotify but I haven’t seen any new music from her.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

It gets a bit overwhelming.

cpaone.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'd never been one to spend much time questioning whether people would or wouldn't miss me. But as I get older and reflect on people and things I miss, I think about it a little more often.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I read a tribute to David Lynch from Kyle MacLachlan - I think I reposted it here. That got me thinking.

cpaone.bsky.social•32 days ago

What about it specifically?

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Just how much of a profound impact he had on him. As a friend, as a director, as a person. It was time well spent between the two of them.

cpaone.bsky.social•32 days ago

And that made you think what? That you haven't made a profound impact?

cpaone.bsky.social•32 days ago

Because, if so, I very much doubt that's true.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

That I probably could be doing more in that department. I’m sure I am with those who matter, but I could probably be doing more.

bodaciouscopy.bsky.social•32 days ago

Whatever you do, don’t let the bastards get you down. You have something valuable to say in sharing your thoughts and feelings and you’re kind to @mrericmontgomery.bksy.social and that’s good enough for me. 🥰🙏🏻

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ahh! Thank you! And he’s easy to be kind to.

bodaciouscopy.bsky.social•32 days ago

Indeed, he is. 😊

zacesse.bsky.social•32 days ago

We're not supposed to do a lot of things. In our last episode, we talked about this. It can be overwhelming. I believe it's about balance. We're built to be physical, and sometimes that's where you can find the cure. You would be missed, though.🙃

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I started working out again last week. It does help. I’m just questioning what is worth it. And thank you!

lindaaoswald1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I would miss you as I enjoy our interactions.❤️

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

You’re one of the good ones. I enjoy you just as much.

larshoel.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’d miss you, fwiw.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

That would go both ways. I’m just blah at the moment. I think a lot of people are. And a hot tip. If the snow is light enough, sometimes you can use a sturdy broom if you do not have a shovel.

larshoel.bsky.social•32 days ago

I found a regular dig-holes-in-the-ground type shovel and that helped me clear a path to the front steps.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Perfect. Training for spring.😂

cesavage.bsky.social•32 days ago

I would miss you shining spark dearly my friend. Let's not talk about it okay?

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•31 days ago

🥰

kristianw.bsky.social•32 days ago

I would miss you. However, I understand. A part of me has contemplated getting rid of social media altogether. I think I might just take a hiatus and see how it goes.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I find when I’m tired and blown away by the state of the world, then have too much time to think… It’s not a great combo. Are you still on twitter at all? There’s no way I could be doing that one right now.
You are one I am always rooting for.❤️

kristianw.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeah. Lots going on right now. Not just in the world but in my personal life as well. So many of my loved ones are struggling. And then the circus known as American politics. I'm exhausted.

I deactivated Twitter. I could not deal. I always root for you, too!

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’m here if you ever need anything.

kristianw.bsky.social•32 days ago

I appreciate you!

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ditto.

jamierenwick.bsky.social•32 days ago

I have been thinking exactly the same.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Forks in the road.

jamierenwick.bsky.social•32 days ago

Well, FB, insta and threads have to go. I havent been on X for a year and Mastadon turned out to be a bust. Which leaves here. I know ppl here who I like. But it maybe time to abandon social media for anything else (even if that's nothing) where i am less inundated by news of fat orange bastard

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

It’s already been a long four years and a week hasn’t even passed.

jamierenwick.bsky.social•32 days ago

Honestly, it's pretty depressing.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Sincerely. And disturbing.

joaoluis.co•33 days ago

I’d miss you 🫠

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

That’s kind of you to say. Thank you.

docsavage88.bsky.social•33 days ago

You would definitely be missed. Just edit the list to where it is a more manageable mayhem. And don't stop writing! Your stuff is good! :)

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’ve got to take a page out of your book and streamline into a peace of mind area.

irynacranny.bsky.social•32 days ago

Exits, pursued by a bear 😂
*please, read it tongue in cheek*

Dangerous pass you chose, my friend!
Time to go back to classics. Hamlet has a good timeline on forgetting beloved slain kings and King Lear is helpful in evaluating those who praise you in your face 😀

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Good point.😂

marykeane.bsky.social•33 days ago

You're not alone. I've wondered this myself.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•33 days ago

It can be a lot.

mrericmontgomery.com•33 days ago

I ponder this everyday.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

It’s not the greatest, taking this thought path. But it does shine a light on how you need to fill your own cup up.

mrericmontgomery.com•32 days ago

Been my life reality since I was a small boy.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

You write beautiful things. You may be close to running on empty sometimes, but you always have something to give.❤️

mrericmontgomery.com•32 days ago

I appreciate that, Sheila. It's not so much running on empty than it is having the motivation to continue to try and be social with the school yard bullies. lol

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I don’t bother with bullies. Every now and then I’ll snap and put them on blast, but generally, my time is worth more than spending it in that direction.
Unless you meant social media in general. That is something I struggle with regularly. Is this real or just stuff & nonsense?

oldscribe.bsky.social•32 days ago

You'd be bored to death.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

I was that kid who would play with my neighbours, then climb the maple tree in the backyard and daydream. I’m good both ways.

oldscribe.bsky.social•32 days ago

I enjoy the solitude myself at times. When I was a kid I'd climb up into my tree fort and read comic books all afternoon.

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago

You had a tree fort? Lucky. I had the perfect forked branch that was like laying on a recliner.

oldscribe.bsky.social•32 days ago

I think I saw something similar in an old Tarzan movie. ☺️

sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social•32 days ago
