Gosh I’m old but I wouldn’t put it past Facebook if 11k subscribers were no longer seeing your posts and are clueless you are shutting the page down. If they are like me they are inundated by bra and compression sock ads and never see the people they go on Facebook to catch up with at all.
My husband and I have spent the last two years getting rid of 95% of what we owned--and it was a lot. The property where we raised our own kids had been my grandparents' before we bought it, so I spent much of my own childhood there, too. The trinkets and treasures, the art on the walls, the favorite serving dishes and that one amazing chair. The ranch triangle I rang out over the acreage to call everyone to dinner and the books on the bookshelves. Gone. All of it. There was grief and loss. But more than that, there was freedom. We only own what we can carry with us in our truck camper. We are FREE to reinvent ourselves as we wish. It's amazing, tbh. Say your goodbyes and move on. You will never regret this.
Also, do you know Jackie Baker, or have you read her Substack? She writes on the topic of suicide, as the mother of an adult son who chose to exit early. https://jackiembaker.substack.com/
I bet this was hard to do, but I hope this frees you up for more meaningful yeses!
Me too!

Truth. The ones who engage see them though, and Most of those 11k simply were not engaging at any point.
