Dateline 2-19-2017

Every once in a while I feel like every single person that I know has unfollowed me on social media. Part of the problem is that I'm not all that active but most of my posts are met with silence, especially when I'm trying to say something that I take seriously. Then every now and again I post a quick pop culture joke and am instantly rewarded with reactions.

So, people are still there but apparently, all that they miss is my humor. I get why they ignore any failed attempt to make a political stance because I too have given up on reading posts of this genre. The thing that blows me away is when I have a day of interaction based on the nonsense I say leading me to build up the courage to share my latest creative endeavor.

The moment that I share anything important to be I'm instantly met with silence and no, it's not that these people who "care" are sneaking peaks without sharing. I can see the statistic on my analytics app and I never see a boost in visits from areas where I used to live. This poor response sends me back to being silent, especially when it comes to the challenges I do on this blog.

This is why I'm shutting up more and more to the point where these letters to no one may eventually become my only form of virtual interaction. The social media silence is somewhat new to me but the lack of interest in anything thoughtful I do is why I'm a person with zero confidence.

Oh well, I guess I'm just having one of those days, I'm sure I'll be perfectly fine tomorrow.

Talk to you then, whoever you are.  

Sincerely,

The Wicker Breaker
