Dear Twitter: We’ve spent some good times together. And there are still times I need you. Times I want you. But you’re too demanding of my time, my energy. I’m leaving you – at least for a trial separation. Yes, there’s Facebook, but I’m thinking of leaving Facebook, too. I need more time for me. [...]
Speaking My Truth, Voice Shaking
