It’s Time to Cut My Time on Mylot!  |
|
I have been member of mylot for more than a year now. Since my family left, it was tough to pass my time when I wasn’t in University or with my off-line friends; I also needed some extra money. My brother had mentioned this site, so in hope to achieve both purposes I joined. Though I was disillusioned about the money part very soon, LOL! As I was able to make 70 times more money per hour, off-line, than I could ever make here, but there were two things that kept me here…my friends and the learning potential.
During whole last year, except for a short break, I have been swimming in the Mylot Ocean, going to different interest categories and reading a lot. I have the pleasure to know people from many different places and befriending them. At the same time, I have learned a lot, from real people, about different countries, cultures and places.
I have learned about how people think and do things in different parts of the world. What preferences they have, how they perceive things, their thinking process and the methodologies they adopt to form an opinion, what they rely on to make their minds and what they don’t trust, what values they hold dear, the problems they commonly have, how they tackle it and how they react, how closely knit or individual a population is, what pronounced as well as subtle differences are within same cultures and countries. All these have been subjects of my studies, reading and learning here. It has been a great, delightful and enriching educational experience.
Now, due to a little redirection in my work and final year of my doctoral studies approaching, I am seeing that I’ll not be able to continue the activity that I so loved to do here. My work needs more of my attention, now even at home. A part of my ‘roaming around activity’ was to go to my friends’ discussions to read about updates in their lives, whether or not I responded. Yesterday, I embarrassed myself by missing a very important update in a very dear friend’s life. While I didn’t feel good about missing it, I feel that I can miss many more in future.
So, I thought to make a discussion to let my friends know that I don’t have the luxury of much free time now and that please don’t get angry if I am not as informed about you people as I have been before. I know all of you are very understand, you have always been, but still I thought to state my case. I am not leaving, however. I do will, though, around this time next year. I’ll try to come as often as I can. Those who have read up to this line deserve my salute for their patience!:-)
Have you ever had to leave or cut time on one of your favorite activities just because ‘you have to’, for some of your basic ‘responsibility’?

kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | Thank you for wishing, kerriannc! MY friends are very understanding and I'll be in contact with them on or off the Lot. We do have to choose between two options and responsibilities should come first.

2. Natrak (1487) | 2 years ago | It's nice of you to let us know about updates in your life, Kamran, and I believe you have so many great friends here, but that's only because you have been one yourself. I think your avatar speaks well on your behalf. I stumbled upon mylot, I was thinking this might be just a way to spend some free time and I was hoping I could improve my English. It turned out that both of my expectations were exceeded, so now this mylot experience is priceless. And I spend time here when I can, making sure that I don't neglect any of my daily responsibilities. I excepted the fact that mylot is part of my life for a while, and I believe something will happened that will tell me when I have to move on and just leave this in the past, but I know I will always remember some of my friends here. And just to finish with some great lyrics, that will suit this discussion perfectly, song is 'New Soul' by Yael Naim.
"I'm a new soul I came to this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take. But since I came here felt the joy and the fear finding myself making every possible mistake This is a happy end, come and give me your hand, I'll take you far away." Take care Kamran.

kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | Thank you for your kind words, my friend. Although, I am not leaving as yet, at least not for a year but even if I leave, I won't forget my friends here. Those ARE great lyrics, Thanks for sharing!:-)

3. sparkofinsanity (3524) | 2 years ago | My dear friend. I understand completely your need to focus more on your 'off the lot' life. The same thing is happening to me. I miss my interaction here, and do surf late at night, but just don't have the time to post and post again as I used to. Things will quiet down for me in the fall when the tourist season here in town is over, but for now, no worries from me if I don't see you that often, because you guys aren't seeing much of me either! LOL You have my email addy and I hope to hear from you as often as you can that way. I do try to check my emails at least once a day now, but don't have time to answer them all right away. YOU however, are always a priority! Hugs and good luck in your off line endeavours.

|
|
kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | I hope your projects are going well, spark, and I hope that you will eventually find time to come back as frequently as before. I'll be in contact off and on the LOT. Thanks for wishing:-)

sparkofinsanity (3524) | 2 years ago | I'm checking in when I can. It will be fall though before I've more time. Summer is a busy affair here with the tourists and all that needs to be done to make the town more attractive to them. But it's fun and I wouldn't miss it for the world. I look forward to getting your emails, just don't be worried if I don't get back to you right away. I hardly touch my computer these days! lol

4. polachicago (7879) | 2 years ago | Oh Kamran, I am with you.I used to cut time on Mylot many times. I do have a lot to do in my life. In fact, I painted entire bedroom this morning. I don' watch TV, so internet and Mylot is not taking much more time than for other people to watch TV and simple waste their time. I have very busy schedule, but MYlot is helping me to understand people from different countries and different cultures. It also helps me on daily living to make may decisions in many fields. It is not for money, because I can make much more off line. The only problem is than we are just humans and we get tired. When I am tired and I have time for relax, talking to online friends makes me feel better. Today my goal is to finish my bedroom and clean after painting. I am done with first coat, I have to wait and finish it later. It is Sunday and most people are taking time off. I am going to see few friends this week and do a lot of work for my business. At my time off I will finish my remodeling and I am going to be on Mylot from time to time. I do understand your point. After all we often need changes in our life and our daily schedule. Responsibility are always coming first. Take care, HUGS

kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | It appears you have been and are a lot busy yourself, pola. I hope your painting is finished now. Although you still would be busy as it seems. How are you and your mother? Both of you have been in my thoughts. Responsibilities are just that, responsibilities, we have to do them no matter what, as we should be doing. Thank you for your supportive words:-)

polachicago (7879) | 2 years ago | Thank you for asking about my mother. Her condition is not going to get better, it will get worst over the time. I work hard to make sure she is maximum comfort. I am talking to her everyday. If she is at the point when needed 24 hours care than I am going to be with her all the time. I am making money to make sure I can afford not to work for while. I also talk to her doctor every other day.
I have to say that Mylot is helping me during my very difficult time.
| |
|
|
kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | I am really sorry about the condition of your mother, pola, I would just say that I believe in miracles, though not as the common belief is, so I think I would just say that she finds peace, whether she continues to live in this world or go to another, better world. You and she will be in my prayers, pola!

|
|
polachicago (7879) | 2 years ago | Kamran, thank you again. Prayer is all I need for my mother and myself....

5. mummymo (11642) | 2 years ago | Oh Kamran you really do have a way with words! i totally understand that you can't spend as much time here as you would like anymore - your studies and your future with your family has to be your main priority!

I look forward to seeing you when you do get a chance to come back and talk with us! xxxx

6. Adoniah (2675) | 2 years ago | A person's life should change the whole way through. It should never be static. I have never been one to make fast friends because I knew that my life would soon carry me elswhere. Now illness prevents me from doing the same.
I still challenge life and will until I no longer can. You are young and must do so even more. Friendship is a luxury and it is a lot of work. Most people do not do it well. At least you have tried and are aware of your limitations.
Go and conquer your world. Learn as much as you can and make it a little better for those who are yet to come!
Salaam~Adoniah

kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | Yes, life isn't constant and stagnant, Adoniah, as it shouldn't be. If it's not moving, it isn't life. Mylot itself has been a great learning experience for me. I could never understand few things in as much depth as I do now, only because of Mylot's multinational and multicultural environment. I don't forget my friends, however, and will keep in contact with them, at least with few. Thanks for your words of support:-)

8. beautyqueen26 (9132) | 2 years ago | Best of luck with your new path! My best wishes for you on your journey. Last Christmas, I left MyLot for nearly five months. It was not unpleasant to be away from MyLot, but I did miss all my friends. I came back, because i needed a little extra money.
But, I have made many new friends that will keep me here. I am happy that they are paying better now, than they were last year.

|
kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | Thank you beautyqueen for well wishes, I appreciate. I have left mylot for a couple of months late last year, but those were special circumstances. Now, as it appears, I wouldn't be able to be as active as I have been before. Friends are a treasure and I won't forget them even if I leave from here for good:-)

kamran12 (1807) | 2 years ago | Everybody is busy, Hatley, one way or the other. It's just that people have different businesses and those who don't, they find some. Like, when I had to pass my extra time, I found mylot. I am not leaving but I sure will be missing my favorite activity of learning here. I will try to be in touch with my friends as often as I can. Thank you for your supportive words:-)
