Feels so good to be well - Blargh to Gaia Events =P
^------^
I'm still coughing just a little, but I'm just about completely well now, and I feel so much better. There's almost a euphoria that's lingering with me, simply because I got well again. There was a winter, about three or four years ago, where I started out in the fall with pneumonia and a visit to the hospital emergency room, and for the next six months afterwards I was sick almost continuously, always just barely feeling well for a day or two before I came down with something else.

I think a bit of the paranoia from that still lingers. This was the first time I'd been sick enough to keep me down for more than a few days since then. Now that I'm feeling well again, there's several things I need to catch up on still, but I'm happy, grateful to be well, relieved that it's over, exulting in simply having the energy to do little things and not coughing all the time.

It's been raining on and off the last few days, but that just gives me another reason to smile. I love the rain.

I did manage to participate in the Halloween event some. I'm not going to talk about all my complaints and disappointments here. I have other things to do. The time I took out to participate in the events was too much of my time already. What I wrote here wouldn't matter anyways and if they saw it, they wouldn't care. I didn't spend any $$ on Gaia this last month. I'm going to try and make a habit of that.

I'm concentrating on spending time on the things I can do that will actually matter and make a difference somewhere... and Gaia isn't something meaningful to me anymore. I spend time too on the things that bring me joy, but Gaia doesn't bring me much joy anymore either. Except for fiddling with the items and outfits. I do still enjoy that.

And sharing my thoughts on various things and talking to those of you who are my friends. I have a lot of friends here. That's why I'm still here. I wouldn't want to lose any of you. heart

Everything I do is essentially meaningless, but I do enjoy spending time on Gaia for the illusion it provides of social interaction.

*snugs*

In the long run, the events and items don't matter as much as the people. I had time for the event this year, which was nice--some years it's a pain to just participate a little--and I more-or-less had fun doing it, aside from it getting really tedious after the first day or two. xp

I'm glad you're doing better. I've been feeling "off" every now and then the past week or so, but not really sick. Just not quite up-to-snuff. The first few days of feeling normal after a long sickness are always fabulous.

Just don't overdo it, 'kay? *feeds*

I see right through the illusion, so that's why I've chosen to minimize my time on here. There are indeed other things more meaningful in life right now.

Just have to overcome laziness to make them meaningful.

I don't think it's really an illusion.

It's a different form of social interaction from interacting with people face to face, but it's real nonetheless. It's actually the false assumption that it's not real that causes so many problems, because people who view it as fake tend to act without any care as to the effect their words and actions have on others.

And a lot of my best friends, in the real world, I met online first. ^^
