"It both suggests an inadequate vocabulary , or pandering to the poorest taste in reading."

I have neither an inadequate vocabulary nor do I pander to anyone, ever. I speak and write about My Own Life Experiences. I Am Not Pretentious nor stuck up & I don't pretend to be. Shit is simply another four letter word in the English language just as any other be it a "cuss" word, verb, adjective, noun, direction, or anything else. While I do Appreciate U here & your thoughts & insight on life in general, I would really hate to disappoint U by informing U that I will not be changing the way I speak & write. If this bothers U, then as much as I've Appreciated U being here I am content with U leaving if I am not the "type" of writer U are comfortable reading. As Always- Mad Love & Blessings to U & Yours🥰🥰💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🔥🔥

Since we are saying whatever we want, I liked your admiring moment, and your expression of enjoyment, but I find your other comment either dismissive or unproductive and unnecessary.

To me, it suggests an inadequate understanding of the space that you are in.

I know exactly what she means by "pack up our shit" it says a lot more than what that sentence literally means. I could write two whole paragraphs for you on what that sentence REALLY meant. Shit is the correct word in that moment.

Anyway, I assume you are here because you see value in her work, so I will leave you be. I came here to comment and saw that. "You deplore".....okay. Well, good luck with that.

That is a bad word. Shame! Oh my Gawd! (By the way, I was born in 1958.) How can anyone go through life, or question someone else’s choice of vocabulary, simply because they do not use such words themselves? Is that what comes of having lived an academic life? Because I come from something completely different, where everyone spoke Industrial language. Perhaps a good dose of George Carlin is in order here?

I enjoy your voice. I like how you express it to us. I know I am getting pure authenticity. You are the kind of person I would want to be around in real life. You are someone who would help another because you really understand. You have traveled far in life because you remain open and you are willing to do the work, whatever it is. Those are the qualities that I admire in you. That's why I enjoy reading your writing.

It's an Overwhelming feeling to be so Appreciated & Loved🥰🥰 I can't find the words for that particular sensation because I don't know of any that would truly & genuinely express it. Like energy most certainly attracts like energy, because I admire those same qualities in U & quite a few others whom I've met via Substack. And U are honestly one of the creatives here who I do want to get to know in human form lol, in real life🥰🥰💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🔥🔥 I am Grateful & very much Appreciate U having my back- that in my eyes makes U a real friend, one of my peoples whether or not we already met in person🥰🥰

Excellent thoughts. Waiting can be a bit of a disease. I often find myself in a process of doing while waiting; you're making things happen each day, but there is this part of you that is 'waiting' for the results and if they don't come or do not meet expectations you move into another form of waiting. Doing and being are always preferable to waiting.

Very well said, Reina. Waiting is something that we do because we CAN’T do anything else, it isn’t an active stance, as you eloquently demonstrate. Waiting is often accompanied by hoping : in the myth, Hope was the last thing to fly out of Pandora’s box.

Hey, good question, what are we all waiting for?

So many illusions that surround us, preventing us from truly living, right? You told the truth, we are always waiting!?

One thing is right,

It is necessary for all of us to have the courage to take the first step out of the Matrix, and continue on the path! Wisdom is necessary, there is no doubt! . Wonderful comparison between patience and waiting.

Thanks for

Waiting no, not a love story!!!

There is a line from a Jimmy Eat World song called Get Right that always stuck out to me…. Disguised as Patience time gets wasted. And now it’s stuck in my head ☺️.

This was such a fantastic, powerful article, I loved every word.

What are you waiting for?

Asking these questions once in a life ...but living life with whole heartedly and connecting to ourselves once again. It's needed✨

Your words are connecting and lively 🤍
