Likes and stuff, I mean.  And I know this is very shallow but&#8230; I&#8217;ve gotten many likes from Kathryn Newton and had a shedload of great interactions with Meg Donnelly, I mean I singlehandedly got her back and posting on twitter (I mean, almost singlehandedly, but- you catch my drift) and aside from those incredibly epic twitter sprees during her two Cinderella Story playthroughs (which I wonder if she even remembers frankly) I&#8217;m not sure if we ever connected.  Or maybe&#8230; we did, and I&#8217;m forgetting?  Maybe I&#8217;m forgetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&#8230; it&#8217;s like&#8230; you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well&#8230; I have to go back to real life, and that kind of&#8230; sucks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ugh.  But real life isn&#8217;t even real life- not anymore?  I mean, now that we&#8217;re all transhuman cyborgs?  Christ, what the fuck?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It boggles the mind, frankly, that someone who has been so connected with so many people with SO MUCH power and financial resource would be so, I don&#8217;t know, isolated.  And- destitute, technically?  Or, at least, in proportion?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not being an idiot, I am of course well aware that these people are wealthy.  No need to elaborate further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But like&#8230; Jeezus.  What the fuck?  I mean I&#8217;m not begging on the streets but man, what is the mechanism to get them to toss me a bone or something?  Is there one?  I don&#8217;t understand, genuinely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe that&#8217;s the lesson, here.  Turn inward?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or is that just running away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fuck, I don&#8217;t know.  Seriously, I have no idea, like at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Disney+ is coming up for renewal soon and I&#8217;m debating cutting it this time.  Too much money.  Maybe I&#8217;ll renew over the summer, I don&#8217;t know.  I mean&#8230; it&#8217;s just&#8230; damn, I don&#8217;t know.  This stuff occupies sooo much of my headspace, you know?  Like wayyyyyyy too much.  Way, way too much.  Maybe I would feel better, freer, happier without it hanging over me like some kind of everpresent guillotine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just&#8230; it feels like &#8220;work&#8221;, rather than &#8220;fun&#8221; if I&#8217;m being honest.  Like life has become inverted somehow, weirdly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just&#8230;&#8230; toooooooooo much<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just to follow up on the few thoughts earlier: I decided to unfollow all the Laura accounts, and Vanessa too, because I reeeeeally can&#8217;t deal with this right now, b\/c I have things going on, things that are more important, and, frankly, it&#8217;s like&#8230; I just can&#8217;t deal with the reality of that being the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5155"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5156,"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5155\/revisions\/5156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sighinide.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
