With this detailed description of what went down before you walked away the first time, I can see why you left.
Adults need to Adult, you would think so, but just because one has reached an age where they now fall into the grownup category doesn't mean that they will act accordingly, as you have witnessed first hand.
I've been involved with #hive for over five years now and I have met many wonderful people like yourself. But, as they say it only takes a few bad apples to spoil the whole bunch. It is very easy to be a bully when a person can sit behind their computer and pound out words that are hurtful. These same folks would not be so brazen if they were to stand eye to eye with the same person, COWARDS.
I give you all of the credit in the world for standing up for what you believe in and not just tucking your tail between your legs and scurrying away.
In a lot of ways this platform has become one big circle jerk and that is a shame, for the other side of that coin is so very cool. I've had the chance to meet people from all over the globe, learning so much about different cultures and seeing stuff that otherwise I would have never experienced.
Where this platform is headed only time will tell, but I know one thing for sure, as #hive looses folks like yourself things will continue to spiral downward.
Five years ago my son told me about this platform and suggested that it would be a good way to document much of what goes on here at the FARM. For that reason and that reason alone I decided to give it a go. Leaving a little taste of what POP is, and was all about, after my passing is important to me. I wish I knew more of what my mom and dad did in their later years. Despite all of this I would pack my bags in a split second if this space were ever to cause me one iota of grief. I'm surprised you ever came back and you sure sound like you won't ever be coming back again.
I wish you all of the luck in the world in every undertaking you pursue. It's been a real pleasure knowing you and #hive has once again lost an extraordinary soul. Take care of yourself and take special care of that wonderful young man you are raising.
God Bless!
Thank you! You are one of the few gems this place has left. I appreciate every word! No, I will never write here again. NOT EVER! But I will absolutely use it to create awareness (and abuse it - because thats the order of the day apparently - and what is good for the goose, is good for the gander).
I have been cancelled regardless, so now I will do as I damn well please.
Much love to you and I hope to catch you on X (Twitter) or at least somewhere!
Take care and thank you again for YOU!
Eliminating stress is always a good thing and why would you ever continue to blog if all it does is cause you grief?
Enjoy every day like it's your last day.
Peace my friend.
