Page 273 - Under the Cover of Darkness

typed over pictures of sunsets or clichés in speech
bubbles over pictures of kittens falling out of trees. You
know the sort of thing. There are some very true
statements being shared & of course it’s a good thing
that people are sharing love and positivity but I would
love it if people, more often wrote their own little gems
of wit and wisdom. Sometimes I scroll down the Home
page and just see reams of regurgitated remarks. It'd be
so inspiring and enlightening to read people's own,
homespun words of wisdom. I'm hoping we start to see
more authentic, original posts lest we become this
Orwellian nightmare I'm envisioning that's a sort of
''digital pass the parcel'' of stock quotes being forwarded
round n round n round by robots who've lost the power
of creative, philosophical thought and conversation.

I was definitely born in the wrong era. I just saw a bit of
"Upstairs Downstairs" and thought I'd be far more at
home fainting dead away on a chaise lounge in a silk
crepe de chine number and a dishevelled chignon and
what’s more this woman's just been fetched a whole
trolley of Opium! I could do with that!

Attempting to walk round the shops, shall I wear heals and
look decent but be in agony? OR wear flats and look
hideous but be comfortable? 'On the pull’, I've never
been 'on the pull' in my life - I do however ALWAYS
wish to look somewhat chic at all the times - I even wear
lip-gloss to bed lest there's a fire and I'm rescued in the
night!
