Welcome back (kinda!). I am so happy to read that you have taken the time to honor and respect your own humanity. That you have recognized that your life is not here to be monetized, 'mined' for how you can turn your experience into a story you can use to teach/coach/sell to others and that your life is bigger than what the social media giants want you to believe about yourself.
And you're right, the solutions to the situations we see on the planet is doing just this - reconnecting to our humanity. SO much of the trouble we are in, is due to us neglecting our emotions, our ability to empathize, our ability to move past ideologies into what is actually happening in real reality and in this idea that everything is for the purpose of creating more money - more production and consumption.
Systems thinking is the key. Seeing the 'not enough' system for what it is, our hyper individuality for what it is and the idea that productivity and consumption IS the key to ALL things are the roots of pretty well every issue branching out from there exists, and seeing what we can do to pull ourselves back from it - learning to slow down, stop consuming where we don't have actual need, stop producing where things don't need to be produced and to learn to actually connect with real people in a real way - this is how we are going to work towards change.
I've thought of you often recently. Glad to read you again.
Good to hear from you ❤️
