Have not watched White Lotus (have a slight aversion to streamed series) so can't comment on that. I confess I had to look up 'integrous character' but like the sound of it now I know the meaning.
Oh I enjoyed reading this so much Deborah. I resonate totally with your verdict on the trio’s friendship in The White Lotus. I was really willing Laurie to get up from the table and triumphantly declare her resignation from the farcical connection they all thought they shared. I desperately wanted someone to come through for realism…….. but no it didn’t happen. The ending was ridiculous!
You have made me stop and think about time. My time. How precious it is and yet usually I feel like I never quite have a hold on it. Obviously the older you get the more obsessed I think you become about time as you realise for some it appears to be dwindling at a steady pace. I don’t want to be fixated in filling my time either unnecessarily, I want to be calm, still and breathe perhaps a new way into my lungs….. I wonder if this is possible? 😊
Thanks Liz. I feel like you and me are the only ones who've watched this as have had not much response to this post - maybe everyone is on holiday! Or using the time for better things!! I think people stay in toxic friendships because it's too scary to leave. They'd rather put up with it than recognise that season of their life is over. Yes, time is a mysterious thing. I really tune into my resentment now - if I can feel any sense of resentment, I know what I'm doing with my time is a bad use of it. I have no issue using my time to read, walk, run, listen to music etc but I get very resentful if I have to use it for something I'll get no benefit from - very self-centred me!

I probably watch too many streamed series! Yes integrous not used much now. People with integrity more common these days!
