FOMO?

Image credit: AI-generated image created by the author using a personal reference photo. I've been thinking a lot lately about starting up a new Facebook account. I deactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts over two years ago. I did so for several reasons, most of them revolving around my mental health (i.e. if I wanted to stay sane I didn't need to see the shit I was seeing on Facebook, particularly things involving my family).

“This is my life now”

I know I've been talking a lot recently here on ye olde blogge about my continued path toward recovery from my surgery last year. Part of that is because I'm frankly happy about the fact that I'm starting to feel like my old self again, but a bigger part of it is because I'm struggling with the notion that for a very long time it seemed like feeling awful was just going to be my life now.

What is your favorite restaurant? The first answer that comes to mind is the now-closed GLC Café in the Atlanta Peachtree Center food court. They had the best felafel wrap I have ever had and I would eat there several times whenever I was in town for Dragon Con.

But do I really want all of that out there for the world to see? This came to mind recently when someone we know casually googled my name, found my blog, and decided to use what they learned through that discovery to initiate an…
