 "Have you ever looked at a friend in bewildered astonishment, and thought something like, "Really? Did you have to say that? I'm drowning right here!" 
But you just looked the other way and sucked it up to spit it out later, on your own ... 

I have. And I've wondered why I didn't set her straight ...

Maybe it's because I realized so many times before how amazing a friend she is ... Amazing, not perfect!  Just like me ... not perfect! But she shows up, perfectly, every single time I need her! And how many times more, she says exactly what I need to hear, or want to hear.

I read a quote of Barbara Kingsolver, saying : "The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing, is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away."

And that, my friends is it!
That's what it's about!"

 People many times think that by getting what they want they will be happy. 
This is a trap we all should be aware. As soon as we get what we want, it gives us a sensation of gratification that soon is over and we are in to the next thing we want. It's only human.
Happiness doesn't come from the outside. Happiness is an inside job.

 I am more concern not with money but with "freedom" itself, privacy, if you will...I think the issue at steak is far beyond money. The control that exists already is beyond the line of acceptable.

And so it begun a new chapter, because life is about chapters. To begin anew you must close the previous.
The Art of letting go is therefore an important step in Becoming!

Mainly at home or big cities. 
 Yes, indeed 😋

 I reckon the ones used to algorithms and that enjoy it, will probably go.... 
 Sodas, all kinds. Sugar, yet sugar is in everything this days, all products have sugar added to it, like pastas, bread, yogurts (even the ones that say zero, they have a percentage that goes from 0,04, to 1 something...), milk (since I throught it out, sour, immediately after drinking it), I try also to avoid all processed foods, from rice cookies to the vegan alternatives that substitute meat - make your own with the flour). All alternative vegan milks. 

The only thing I was unable to remove is chips....I am addicted, from time to time, I have it. 😆

 I don't see it that way but that's ok... I see it when you love someone so much that you keep allowing the abuse. For me that's a connection between a woman with an unavailable man, which can be quite damaging. She struggles to get out ...and he always leaves the door open...
What kind of human does this?
Never goes away but also is never there? For me is trauma bonding very well represented. 
 Most abusers, men or women, act like this. They love bomb you in the beginning of the connection. A lot of messages, a lot of attention, they shower you with attention and time. Then when they understand you are hooked, they start to talk less, and less and sometimes ignore (leave you on read). It's a manipulative tacking, called intermittent reinforcement,  to get you "addicted". Your body and mind does the rest. Like an addict you do anything to get the attention again. When they feel you slipping, they come again. Usually when they are not giving you attention, they are with someone else. This devaluation process usually occurs between 3 to 6 months into the connection and repeats on a patter. It's insane and fu*ks with the soul. 
 You are correct. And it allows many interpretations. I read you wrong about the pasta. Yes, our own childhood trauma brings into connection to heal and break the pattern, I believe. In situations like this, either you learn self-love and choose you ( and abandoned the co section), or you will stay trapped and repeat the same cycle, either with this person, or another one.  
 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 lol I just corrected it and add stuff  
 A genius way of appreciating it even better ! Pasta hmmmm 😋😋😋😋
