Tomorrow makes 20 years since my dad died. Social media is exhausting. I could make this post on my main social media page too, but I'm going to opt not to, if I can. Would I regret it if I said nothing at all? I think so, but I'll prefer to post it here instead of there for now. That website gets enough traffic, and I hate being the "this is what's wrong now" person.. so I'll let that be here, in small space.
I'm a little sad, and I guess I'm supposed to be. I'm also upset by all the other problems happening. Aim for perfection, but you never get it. Studying geometry has been fun. I gave myself time off from appropriate traditional studies when I was younger, telling myself I'd get around to them later, and here I am. Still convinced that the current school system might not be doing so great for young people. Maybe it works for some people, but I was glad to leave and go into home schooling, and I generally look back on it fondly, though sometimes I feel like maybe I missed out. Then it's more difficult to imagine, does the average person miss out on a good education through alternative schooling, and how do you even define alternative in that sense.
I'm sure I'll make a post tomorrow here, and just use it as a marker place, maybe say the same thing. I want to be brave enough to leave my major social network site and move on, like it's failing me. I hate major organizations and usually prefer smaller ones, so it's nice to convince myself I could completely migrate here: but major places usually are major for a reason: that application has a nice distribution of information that is very pleasant to sift through, maybe it's not worth leaving, I can't decide.
