I do consider myself lucky to know people from social media, people whom I see as friends.

It’s not an allegiance, I don’t want your allegiance, or loyalty. What I mean is, if we can connect because we enjoy one another, or want to be supportive, that’s awesome. But I’m not a leader. I’m a dude, who goes by Phil, Philip, or Dietrich. I’m a dude who writes.

I think it’d be cool to have tons of followers and fans. Eh, I’m sure that’s cool, but, it’s not perfect either, is what I imagine. Being in the now, I focus on what is.

I’m grateful for the friendships. I’m grateful for interactions here and there. I’ll gladly accept them.

Just because I choose to be in a fortress of solitude all day doesn’t mean others have to be with me while I’m in my solitude place. I’m learning to accept that as well. It’s kinda who I am, but sometimes, I think more social interaction would be best. Limited social interactions seem to work the best, if I’m being honest with myself.

So it’s all goodie in the hood.
