Yesterday, I spouted @VeeHappened60 account was closed. Today, I was plagued with raw emotions that I couldn't shake into oblivion.
My emotions tend to be like a choppy ocean. It pops up in waves.

I engaged with her in March and wished her well with her health recovery.

I enjoyed her charisma and sagacity. and she enjoyed being a great friend and ally to this platform and democracy. She shared music and laughter
and engaged with her strong following of friends.

Needless to say, a few people acknowledged my spout, and 2 shared a comment.

I felt a bit sad, as Spoutible is lauded as a platform of friends & family who care about each other. But, not enough to notice when someone is absent or missing.

Narry much of a remark.

I know we are all strangers with an inexplicable affinity/connection. Conversely, I also observed this platform embraced and welcomed many new people a few weeks earlier with eager anticipation and a great big bang. But, pure silence when a regular spouter is gone.

No questions or much dialogue were initiated, not that I have the answers. It's just really an empty feeling I felt as though our spout mate never existed.

Oh, well, all things are in perspective now. I have come to the acceptance it's not who you know, but who knows you.

Thanks for your visit.💜

Oh, that's OK. I was just flummoxed that no one actually said much about her. My spout moved on with likes and 2 spoutmates shared a comment.

I guess I was actually looking forward to reading a bit more on how she affected friendships on this platform. I do understand we all come and go.

Missed your spout yesterday, sorry, and I do indeed miss "seeing" Vee here, plus some other friends 😞

Yah, you know even though we sporadically chat with each other, more often than not you leave a conversation with a smile, a tug at your heart strings, and just pure memories of kindness.

I really enjoyed her friendly personality. Her spouts were always smiling.

Thanks for popping by though. 😊

Not sure what the answer is Theresa? Usually, I'm only on in the mornings with stupid stuff and boosting daily prompts. See the same 30+ folks every morning. This has given me pause and will have to do better and will limit my spouts. Your words are so needed. Thank you for keeping it real. 💕

Oh, no, no, no..your stuff is not stupid, M'lady. I always enjoy your content. Just saying! 🤗😉

Thank you, Bev. I guess we get attached to spout mates and when they leave it's a normal emotion/reaction to miss them. I guess I am too emotional for this platform.

I hope you are carrying on well!

Oh this makes me sad. Months ago, I made a list and named it "Lost Friends" when I was spending so much time on SC. Vee was on that list as were you and where I just saw this. She would share wonderful spouts and had the best goodnight wishes GIFs. So many get lost in our timelines.

We also HAVE to remember that as the platform grows we miss things because Spouts are not automatically recycled or pushed as they are on other platforms. If we’re on at different times of the day, I may miss all of your Spouts for days unless I have you on a list or until I think to check in.

I missed it totally too. I have a feeling that things fall off my timeline unviewed sometimes.

We have been through a turbulent period of coming and going in April and March and I’ve posted a few times about how easily our online friends can leave us and we may never know why. It’s why people being flippant or petulant about their presence here can be so hurtful.

Well expounded. Yah, a lot of people just surf around this platform to hurt others. We can never tell what people are facing each day in their daily lives.

But, it's nice to have this chat, yah?💜

When I saw this I was hoping you had found out more info, only to see it was more about lack of engagement. This brought tears to my eyes. Social media too often is transient. I wrote at least a couple times on an unnecessary tragedy of an online friend. That experience was a wake up call for me!

Thank you for saying this. I am terribly sadden by the tragedy of your friend.

We tend to move on so quickly and silently after people leave our lives for whatever reason. I think this spout ignited a few memories why people engaged with her. 💕
