v.32

**NOTICE OF DISCONNECT TO CONNECT**

AS OF FEBRUARY SEVENTH TWENTY TWENTY-ONE, MY ONLINE PRESENCE WILL BE LIMITED AND ALL PERSONAL ACCOUNTS MAY NO LONGER BE UPDATED, REMOVED PUBLICLY, AND/OR PERMANENTLY DELETED. THIS WEBSITE WILL REMAIN ACTIVE.

YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED MY ABSENCE DWINDLE, OVER THE YEARS ON SEVERAL PLATFORMS. AND YOU MAY HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT BY MESSAGE OR PHONE, THAT WAS OFTEN MET BY UNANSWERED CALLS, AND MESSAGES BEING UNREAD OR UNDELIVERABLE. THIS IS ALL BY DESIGN AND THERE IS A HIGH POSSIBILITY THAT IT WILL CONTINUE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

IN OUR DIGITAL DRIVEN SOCIETY, THE INTERNET HAS BECOME A VERY POWERFUL, IMPACTFUL AND IMPORTANT TOOL, IN WHICH WE USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BY SHARING ON SOCIAL NETWORKING/MICROBLOGGING SITES AND PHOTO/VIDEO SHARING APPLICATIONS. WE OFTEN SHARE TOO MUCH INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY THE HIGHLIGHTS AND NEVER THE HEARTBREAKS. AND WE OFTEN ABUSE AND MISUSE THE INTERNET WITH THE INFORMATION WE CHOOSE TO SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER.

WE OFTEN CREATE ONLINE PERSONAS, OF WHO WE WANT TO BE IN THE REAL-WORLD. AND FOR SOME, THE CLASH BETWEEN THE TWO CAN OFTEN LEAD TO A VERY DESTRUCTIVE OUTCOME. WONDERING WHO YOU’VE BECAME FROM WHO YOU WERE AND HOW YOU ARE PORTRAYED IN BOTH WORLDS. WITHOUT DISCLOSING TOO MUCH INFORMATION, SINCE QUITE FRANKLY IT IS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS, I THOUGHT I AT LEAST GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO DIGEST. I DECIDED TO WORK TOWARDS MY PERSONAL STRUGGLES AND IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD ON A PATH OF SELF-HEALING, EARNING HAPPINESS AND LIFE-FULFILLING PHYSICAL MEMORIES BY REMOVING MYSELF FROM THE EQUATION.

AS I EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY AND WE CONTINUE TO PART OUR SEPARATE WAYS, I WISH NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR OWN HAPPINESS BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. STAY HEALTHY. REMAIN BLESSED. AND BE WHO YOU ARE AT ALL COST.
