Yes Karina, 100%! Your post is very well stated. I want to read and learn about people's real life stories and struggles. Knowledge is power and when people share their difficult experiences it validates and empowers others. Anyone that calls it "sob stories" has obviously had a very easy life.
"I refuse to believe people aren't interested in real life, real stories. In fact, this is how we connect. We validate each other through shared experience. We learn not through bullet points but by alchemising lived moments into meaning."
So very well put, Karina. The boat these grifters are sadly missing is the paradigm is slowly shifting away from these canned "Do this like me," posts, and more toward authentic writers.
That... would certainly include you ☺️ Great drop!
Thank you so much for your comment—it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one feeling this way.
Sometimes it truly feels like the world changed overnight, and I’m left trying to decode a new set of rules that no one really explained. We're constantly being told how to do things, constantly made to feel stupid or inadequate… and honestly, it’s exhausting. Grrrr!
It helps to know there are others out there navigating this strange terrain too—with humour, grace, and a shared sense of rebellion.

So so glad my words resonated with you dear Rosalee. Your words are so spot on. To be honest I wish I had a charmed life! Big hug!
Yes I too would wish for the same! Big hugs back to you Karina 💕🌹

Good points raised. While nobody likes a pity party, raw and vulnerable writing isn't sob, it's about empathy.
