    Hi. I'm back. Cloudflare prevented me from returning. Only now, after 10minutes of browser checking, did it let me in. I missed you guys...

    @shaunj66, I don't know exactly what a vpn is. I connected normally, as usual, but now (who knows why) for no apparent reason, it let me access here. I am flattered. Thanks for your interest. I don't deserve so much.

    If I disconnect the smartphone from the internet, and then turn it back on, again Cloudflare checks the browser for a few minutes. Someone had told me that the check happens once and then that's it. He was wrong. I'm afraid my issue will happen again.

    Continued connection issues. Is it a stunt by someone who doesn't like my presence? This will be my last message. Someone will rejoice.

    ...eager and ready to swallow everything—pictures, liquor, knowledge. This lack of concentration is clearly shown in our difficulty in being alone with ourselves. To sit still, without talking, smoking, reading, drinking, is impossible for most people. They become nervous and fidgety, and must do something with their mouth or their hands."

    So true. I do many things with my mouth n hands. And not just sexually. I smile and I play with gaming consoles.

    @AncientBoi, I'll point out that there are also children reading these posts, even if you don't care; I recommend continence in language (and maybe in real life...hehehe).
    And then we say: those who do it don't talk about it; those who talk about it, don't do it. And no likes this time.

    ...Yet most human beings spend 50 to 90 percent or more of their time in their imagination, living in fantasy. We think about what has happened to us, what might have happened, how we feel about it, how we should be different, how others should be different, how it's all a shame, and on and on; it's all fantasy, all imagination. Every memory that we stick to devastates our life."

    ..which you will never be able to enjoy. When your plans mature, you will still be living
    for some other future beyond. You will never, never be able to sit back with full contentment and say, "Now, I've arrived!" Your entire
    education has deprived you of this capacity because it was preparing you for the future, instead of showing you how to be alive now."
