I love how quaintly old-fashioned it sounds! In these days of “here, let me vomit up every emotion I’m having and please read and validate and like and share it”, a little restraint sounds like good advice.
That's making me laugh quite a lot. (I still call it tweeting, rather like very old people when I was young still referred to 'the electric telephone'. Or madly sent telegrams at the drop of a hat.)
Thank you Tania, and Mabel, for the reminder that everything does not have to be said out loud and in public. I shall edit. And maybe also save those pieces as part of the useful process of expressing them before the cut.
Very good insight, we definitely live in a time where “over-sharing” and “trauma-dumping” are real and frequent. Restraint is a great skill for all of us to practice.

I confess I did have some similar thoughts!
My ‘ Mabel’ responds to an absorbing jigsaw … simple but effective .
Brilliant!👏
Agree. I had to learn not to tweet before coffee time as I was far too bumptious earlier. Fortunately tweeting is over now anyway.

Yes to a special file for the 'Dead Darlings'.
It makes such a difference! I can cut with sweet ruthlessness.☺️
This is brilliant. I have an Aunt Mabel who was perfection so I will search for an appropriate and exotic name - like Broomhilda or Esmeralda.
Your lovely Aunt Mabel! Esmeralda is excellent 👏

That is very good to hear! Glad I am not alone. It's such a fine line.
