Maddy,

Interesting take on social media and content creators. I have always wondered how the joy of living in the present must be lessened by the need to be thinking of how it will add to content. It doesn't seem to me to be a fair trade for you. And I love following you. Your photos and adventures are interesting but your take on all this is fascinating. It is sort of like you are seeing all of this with a third eye. The event, your acknowedgement of it, and then your role in the process.

I hope you find a way to enjoy this balmy but gray (so far) winter. Every day is a gift.

Mark

Reading your thoughts - and thoughts of those who comment - is really opening my mind up about writing. I’ve written my whole life mostly just for me (better known as journaling I guess) and more recently to share with family - —- “pre social media, pre blog, pre even computer”. The feel of pencil (not pen) on paper just warms my heart and soul somehow. I’ve kinda self-published twice now and I like the feeling of having pulled together a sense of ME to be shared with no one - except family and self.

BUT - thinking about sharing words with the wider world, it’s intriguing! Thanks for broadening the perspective of an old lady! It’s never too late to learn!
