Thank you pouring youself here @stellabelle. I really appreciated it. At first I was hesitant sharing these thoughts. After a while though I decided that If I was to offer genuine content upon which others could reflect, then I should take the risk (even if I risked getting flagged).

I am glad you sorted out your life. I guess everyone takes these steps a bit differently. Myself I rather choose to live in isolation. I purposely cut myself from most of my social environment and I can say I feel more serenity. More importantly I can think much clearer. Like you said there is too much noise whether that is called Pokemon Go, fashion, trends or any other shenanigan taking place around me. I choose to focus on few things.

Where I live we don't have squirells but we do have lots of cats everywhere - and oh boy do I envy them.

Thank you again for taking so much time in sharing this.
