grounding mechanism for me
I realize when I am alone I need things, mechanisms to keep me grounded
and moving forward. I realized that last night - and this morning
I have to say I had an interaction with someone who constantly throws
microagressions my way. I have to move away from this person -
and in the process I am finding myself (in the reaction to the microagression)
really needing to find my sense of strength and peace - and so in other
words find and use what grounds me.
So it goes.

Microaggressions via text from close friends suck. Passive communication in tech-based realms won’t ever improve, I am starting to think. Even within workplaces. Sorry you are dealing with that.
How did you like the movie, Mark?
thanks Nikki! You really hit the nail on the head..I have to step away...
I thought the movie was 'ok' - My favorite scene though was when they danced on and around the fire escape
on the side of the building. I thought it was pretty!
"Microagressions?" Should I guess, wait for clarity or look it up in The Urban Dictionary? The most daunting aspect of my 40+ year career in communications/internet has been understanding what the fashionistas are saying this week. The theme song for that wandering wonder. is, "Look What They Done To My Song, Ma."
Anyhoo. . .
Way back when I was new into my psychotherapy for old world social distancing, my therapy supporters worked pretty hard at helping me understand why I needed to close those social distances and break my extreme isolation habits, there was allot of talk about how humans are hardwired to need the grounding aspects of human interaction. Early into the therapy, I had to take the leap of faith that these good folks knew something I didn't and gave it a whirl based on my faith in those patient souls. Fast forward to pre-corona and I'd still rather be a snake than a human, but I at least understood WTF those good souls were trying to tell me.
The jury is still out on whether those logics are still valid in the post-corona norms. Research in progress. . .
