Modern life is so tied with smartphones living without it is increasingly becoming harder

I moved out the western slope of Colorado, to the high desert, after I got an MS diagnosis. I've never had more concentration in my life. I was able to focus without a chime or someone else needing to contact me. Just me and how to move forward. Years later I moved back to the city.

It took my a while to get back to city life when I left, the busy everything, the phone going off, the lights in the sky at night blocking the stars. How do we all do it?

How do you know if you truly love someone as a mother?

I'm adopted and know both my mothers. Birth mom didn't want me at put me up for adoption and my mother adopted me. Birth mother came around when I was 25 wanting me back even though I'd never met her, I knew she wasn't MY mom. I want nothing to do with my birthmother because she was just a vessel for me to end up with my real mom.

If you feel that pull from your heart that this person is your mother, then she is ( as long as everyone's cool).

Worst Holiday Experiences

I was a kid and that year my birthday fell on Thanksgiving. The big plan was to go out to see the St. Louis Blues play (when Wayne Gretzky was playing!). Well my 2 year older brother had a meltdown how I wasn't worthy of bring along and he should go. My asshole dad, who never liked me, did just that. He took my brother, on my birthday, to see hockey's greatest player.

I don't talk to either of them for unrelated reasons but that was a shit birthday.
