Its been a few days since I visited any site online, its been a few days since I wrote, anything online.
I was addicted to being online and I needed to let go. I needed the break. I needed to do without to gain a better appreciation for what I do and what I want to do online.
2020 had been a wonderful year for me, changes are made and I love it.
Taking time to find what is, or was, missing is what was needed. I am now back on track to what the dream was all about in the first place.
Have you ever just stopped something to see if you could?

@andriaperry I have quit the online a couple of times. It feels good to do it sometimes.
The best thing I quit tho was my family. Life has been great without them in it.

Honestly, I have. I could give the internet up if I chose, especially to seize the best things for me, not just the good.

Oh, Okaaayyyy 
@andriaperry On September 27, 1988 I stopped smoking cold turkey. I'd been a heavy smoker for 20 years.

Facebook. Out of necessity, but now I don't miss it at all. In fact, I deleted the app from my phone and tablet!

Not really, if I ever quit something I had a good reason for doing so..smoking for instance.

I disagree. I stopped smoking and I have not went back, that has been 15 years ago.
