Chicago: my little visit

Sorry this took so long, I was really busy when i got back, and then very sick this past weekend...

I haven't been posting many vids, and there are two reasons, one, someone on YT really hurt my little feelings, and 2 I have just been very busy... my life is changing, hopefully for the better, and I think as I mature and realize I am becoming ok with being alone more and more, my insecurities and need for attention is deviating a bit. Which does NOT mean I don't love you all to bits, I just am kinda rediscovering myself, and that's actually a good thing. I think for a while I was using YT as a major crutch, and while I met and made some great friends, I also need to focus on the life I am trying to live.

So in my quest to seek out reality, I did something I haven't done since I was 19 and more daring, I traveled alone! I planned originally to stay with a friend, who flaked, and then another friend, who met up with some unfortunate events, so i ended up fending for myself, which I am very good at...

I hope you will read some stuff on my new blogger page about the art I saw in Chicago, I plan on writing a couple more articles on what's out there.

This was great! I'm going next month myself for a weekend! I know what you mean about You Tube too! This past week was one of the worst I've seen in terms of seriously bad energy and intent in some of the postings here. Of course the good thing about You Tube is the off beat friendships you can make here! LOL!

Awe you should, if you need recommendations of places to go cheap eats let me know, I kinda just discovered stuff as I went along, it was cool just being alone, talking to strangers, checking out art.

Hey Rob thank you for all the photo comments :) You're a real sweety. I did, It's weird I was actually really ok being by myself for once, it felt good, alot of clarity for me

Traveling my one's self is plain awesome. That's how I did Ireland. Sure, you can't really party solo, but it's very meditative.

i am considering LA next, I have some time in September, and might split up my vacation, cause I want to see my folks in ATL too. I had some aquaintances with this gallery so I did go out on Friday.

well, that was cool.

The big shiny thing, too. Haven't been up here (Chi) in a long time, but, am so in love with the art institute and its collection!

However, as I'm a mere 135 mile south of there, I'll drive.

Hate planes.

Hate planes almost as much as sharks!

But, sharks REALLY hate planes.

Just read the notes on the right side of screen and this is my response

About being alone this is something most of us need to get used to relationships take a lot of work and people have gotten lazy it's so much easer to just call it quits when things get rough the 2000 census determined that for the first time in US history less than 50% of American adults are married. And we all need positive attention/love which doesn't mean we are going to get it.

Best wishes Olivia to you and all of us.
