I love your writing/rambling/musings…. Typos are all good too, no one is perfect we are all a work in progress. Keep going and I’ll look forward to reading your next writing . H x
There are bots who automatically Like posts? Wow. (They’re on Amazon Web Services, I bet. Probably some weird name nobody can figure out.) Me, I do support and sarcasm, and your post looked like a marvelous opportunity to indulge in both. 😁
But I like your other stuff too, Ramona. And I will try to remember to wait an appropriate period before tapping the heart. 😉
I'm so relieved you're not a bot! I mean...., really!
I love sarcasm, so carry on. And please tell me how to add emojis. I'll try not to get carried away with them, but I'm tired of having to use LOL to signal my true meaning. Ha!
Emojis vary a LOT by device and operating system, alas. Are you using your phone, pad, or computer; and iOS (Apple), Android (NOT Apple), Mac, or Windows?
I'm using my Windows-based laptop right now, but also use my iPad sometimes. I count on a little emoji button but Substack doesn't have one. I don't know how to import them. I tried to cut and paste one for a comment and it didn't work.
I have heard things more pathetic. In fact, I wrote those things. Reams and reams of repetitive whining and complaining about (whatever it was at the time). It's the reason I've stopped journaling, actually. I could not bear to look at it. I'm still on the fence between picking it up again (a lot of angst, Sturm und Drang, tears on the page) or consciously letting it go and de-cathecting from it. I should make up my mind, I'll be 70 in a few years!!
I hear you! In my case it was either write it in my journal or let it all out in a foolishly urgent published piece. My journal is my battering ram, my therapist, my protector. It's a big job for a little spiral-bound book, but I keep it safe and feed it well.
I laugh a lot when I read my old whinings, so I see that as another reason to keep my journals around. Somehow I feel better when I realize how silly it all was. I wouldn't be laughing if those whiney words were outside of my journal, spreading far and wide, gathering more power than they deserve. (Smiley face)

Aw, thanks. I'll ramble on...
Awww! Poor Ramona! Who’s a good girl? Yes you are! Yes you are!
Biscuit? 😁
Hey, JackH, thanks for commenting. I thought you were a bot! You always instantly 'like' what I write, so I'll take this as an anomaly. Amirite??
