Ah, no pressure, it doesn't matter where and it doesn't matter when...
But it was after I came here that I started learning about what the world looked like through others' eyes. People who are out there. People who share. It's a great pool of knowledge and ideas. I've traveled a bit but it's not the same as living there.
I am speaking about sticking to people from our own countries. Well, that's what we (at least in my experience) do on FB 99 % of the time. No need for me to copy the same behavior here.
That does not mean that I don't favor people from some of my circles or from close locations. In some cases, I do. The thing is, I should not shut off the rest. On the contrary, I think I should seek to improve in that regard, too, and open more portals in faraway locations.
Mission to self...spend time with the person screaming in my left ear right now ;)
