    Quoting lunchandconvo:
    beautifully put!
    XO!

    throwing that XO! out early to you!
    i have been the voice to go silent.
    and have had voices go silent on here.

    as you know i had an old account.
    and one day decided to WALK AWAY.
    it was mainly due to security.
    this was when the MadEEson REED thing happened and i didn't know if my real info was going to be public.

    i was on the BookFace with a few people from here.
    i reached out via mutual friends but some never replied.
    yet do on my return here.

    i am sorry you feel ghosted.
    here...
    sometimes i just don't feel i have a good post.
    or just am not in the mood.
    this is the first time i have had the emotional energy to comment on blogs in a while...

    take care.
    (( HUGS ))
    -m-
ohhhhhh Lunch...we ALL know about the emotional energy thing. No worries...here is what we need it to be...whenever that occurs. Thanks for commenting...Hugggss girl ~

    Quoting Jaun4u:
    I sometimes wonder - more often than sometimes - when the interest in a person slowly fades along with the frequency of communication, why don't you say it instead of staying quiet, ducking? Is the interest in the person genuine interest or just a distraction?
Oh em Gee.....THIS !! this is IT , so perfectly said. Thank you, thank you thank you ~~

    Quoting DiscreteSlowRide:
    Well put!!! I can completely relate, specifically to this part stated by you so perfectly.

    ....then the silence creeps in. These voices go silent often
    sans explanations
    The words, the thoughts, the feeling/s, the sentiment all come in to
    question.......as lies.

    The silence is cold and deafening.....
Yes.....Slow...it feels so cold....and at the same time...its Loud n Clear. Its completely sad ( sigh ). Thank you for listening n commenting ~

    Quoting  :

That balance is what we strive for, in many aspects of our lives. I also think that the balance shifts at different times, depending on the need. Being cognizant of that juggle and not fearful can be an ally sometimes. Like knowing....its all okay, or going to be ok.

Thanks for your thoughts North ~

first....i am completely sorry for the loss of your brother. I have my own recent losses..well they seem recent anyway....one of which is my brother and only sibling. So...i understand that pain...and i have blogged about it. I also understand your welcoming of his silent voice. Kudos to you.!! Im not there yet....when those voices show up...my tears also show up. Tears of knowing that we can no longer make memories...and that i hold all of our memories solo now.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts....and thank you for enjoying my writings. Writing is cathartic and i feel deeply and sometimes i just gotta write it out!

...and yes....Fredericks def WAS the trashy Vickys...lol I agree! i was also gonna mention National Geo too.....but i see you covered those bases...lol

From friends and relatives who passed away - there are still voices in my head: quite often I´m happy to hear them or to feel, that they are somehow close from the distance.

Here it´s different: I´m afraid, some friends were lost during the journey, they suddenly disappeared and sometimes I´m thinking of them, re-checking their blog etc.

If they would have planned to leave, I guess, I would know. Some concerns, what happened to them. I hope, something good - but most probably it was something bad.

It's upsetting to be ghosted (even though I have kind of come to expect it).

What I find truly sad are the bloggers who disappear because of an untimely death. I can think of a couple. One was murdered in his apartment - I only learned of it because another blogger who knew his real name was worried when he stopped posting, and started investigating. In another case the person committed suicide and I learned of it because of being FB friends with her. Hopefully for most of the other people who have disappeared over the years, it's only because they lost interest in blogging.

There is no escaping reality. Even in the realms where there is no air, skies, water or life forms within technology. Yes....I hear the silent voices too of the past, even my own at times with how loud it was in the past. I can only hope that those I known that are silent are doing well, and the ones that passed on will always remain in my memories.

I find as I get older my ghosts are becoming more real. Up until the last few years I was too busy living in the present to spend any real time on my ghosts, my regrets. I recently dreamt of a 20 year best friend who took his life 10 years ago. For the first time I find myself wondering "what if". All those "what if" moments everyone has. I'm guessing it's something we all do as we age, especially as the longer we live the more ghosts we accumulate.
I enjoyed your blog, it made me think.

Think of the good time when the vibes made you all excited. Don't dwell on what is lost. Too many of us live a life of illusion, not realizing that all we really have is now. We live between the unchangeable past and the unknowable future. Listen, and you will hear the distant sound of the next voices, with new stories, things you never dreamed of. Sometimes, especially on line, people disappear. Maybe they got bored, got caught, even died. You can't take disappearing as a personal affront. This is a playground and sometimes people get tired and leave. It seems mean and impersonal at times but you never really know the situation, especially the situation that was only a disembodied text, a stranger, maybe a pretender, online. Don't take it personally.

Harry Truman, when asked about the decision to use nuclear weapons, said he went to bed with a clear conscience. His stated philosophy was that the two most destructive emotions are guilt and regret because neither can be fixed. Not to downplay your pain but, other than saying"I won't do THAT again", what good is dredging up a painful past, a missed opportunity?
