((Julie)) - I hope I'm not contributing to your boredom (it's all my talk about walking/exercise, isn't it? LOL) But seriously -- I do kwim. I sense that you are going through an inner transformation/growth and maybe that's where the online boredom/restlessness is coming from -- I say just let it ride and see where the journey takes you, love.

Julie--I very much understand what you mean. There are days I go to my community and mark it all and not read a thing.

{{{Julie}}} I understand, I think. When I am away from the computer a lot (like very recently) I have less interest in it. The more I am away the more I enjoy being away. And the more I am online the more I want to be online. Of course I am a person of extremes, so that is probably why. :-)

{realizes this made no sense but I've got to go and run more errands and clean up}

I very much understand what you mean, Julie. I've lost a lot of interest in being online lately too - when I started having to decrease my online time while I was staying at my mom's, whatever appeal it had to me seemed to greatly diminish. It's just not as interesting as it used to be. I used to think it was a good substitute for a real life community - now I still don't have the RL community yet, but I've come to realize that online communities aren't *true* communities and I was largely kidding myself.

{{{Julie}}} I understand, too. I find I really don't share much of myself with a big community, nor do I have a desire to. I still hang out, but for me it's just to chit chat, if that makes sense. I no longer chat, so I don't feel terribly connected in that way, either.

{{{Julie}}} I'm going through a similar transformation, so I think I understand some of the feelings you're experiencing right now. I wish you peace on your journey, wherever it may lead.
