I read postings on Next Door obsessively
even though it’s often toxic.
AOC was right, but still.
Endless personals, my favorite part of newspapers for years.
Life reduced to a few sentences. Sometimes a request.
What people say to one another. They disagree about everything.
Dogs, politics, gentrification.
I loved a recent post:
Looking for advice.
How do you deal with procrastination?
A huge difficult issue in my life. It feels very
psychological. Even though I’m a therapist
and I’m supposed to be in touch with my feelings,
in this subject I am not.
They are hiding under procrastination.
Somehow that’s a very effective way of keeping my feelings
at bay. Any advice out there?
I know what to do said Inez.
But I’m busy. I will write you later.
Love idea that procrastination way of avoiding other feelings. Maybe more painful or more joyful. Avoiding people’s envy, for starters, can work in wondrously unconscious ways!
I read you obsessively and I laughed right away.
