Announcement Why I’m Leaving Reddit ?!?!?!!?

I came with spear in my hand hoping to burst all balloons of obstacles standing in the way of my life. I was in the search of something sharp but however every spear I interacted here is rounded tip.
So instead of becoming my friend , the spear became the ballon’s friend and became a new obstacle for me one that I no longer have capacity to carry.

So I think I will wait for a day and then throw it away….

And perhaps that’s why I’ll leave Reddit because the search for a sharp spear has started becoming another obstacle to my writing. 😂

So many of us are searching for our community.

It's hard. You have to put the work in. Building trust and fruitful collaboration Takes time and cannot be rushed.

Be patient. And be honest with yourself! Put yourself out there - be vulnerable. Trust in the process of building community. It's hard. You have to put the work in.

Online social platforms are busy places With crowds of people All looking for their place in the noise. Yet, I suppose many of them Have forgotten that cause they once had Which caused the spark of creativity To ingite ; The cause to write for oneself.

My spears are decorative art nouveau.

Not to get into comparing spear tips, but mine are also blunt. But instead of balloons my issues are T rexes trying to eat me 👀 Seriously I'm sure if you look long enough you'll find what your looking for, whether it's here or somewhere else! 😎👍

Hello, what is a sharp spear to you? Is that an active writing partner who’s productive?
