A real sign of a mental health issue right there.

I was told that by a friend on Hive I respect when up against a whale curator that had a beef with Natural Medicine (the straw that broke the very overworked back of me, leading that community). I was flabbergasted as I'd been trying for three years and wed finally made 70k in Hive power through blood, sweat and tears and community delegations - small, mind, as we had no whale support as none of them get alternative health - and to be told that I should invest more to make a difference floored me. I think the lack of empathy was perhaps what did it. Since then I've been far more disheartened with the whole thing. Anything to do with marketing, PUD, etc feels like brainwashing to me. The little people blindly do all the work whilst the big profit. Wait that sounds like real life. Oh yes. The utopian dream utterly fell apart for me. Now I focus on writing, which I love, and the creative, interesting, human souls I connect with globally every day. Be damned if I was going to keep breaking my back lifting up my corner when no one would help hold the tent poles so I could have a pee.
