CyberDayze

CyberDayze 


As you all may know already, I have started a new CyberDayze Facebook Group named, aptly, CyberDayze. 🎢 If I haven't 🀷♀️already added you, here's the link. Come visit me.😊 I can post lots of music 🎡 there, unlike my Facebook Pages. Yayyy!!!

At any rate, I have been busybusybusy ☝️ adding friends and yesterday I came across a friend named Amad Elbez. Now, in my original, now deleted, Facebook account, Amad and I used to message each other frequently. He lived in Egypt πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ and was an avid musician πŸ‘¨πŸŽ€ in my genre of music. 🎢 He suffered great pressure from his family, because of his chosen lifestyle. And. He lived with his parents. He also was chastised for abandoning his religion. He talked in length with me about his life and what it was like to live in Egypt. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ 


And he was intrinsically interested in what my life in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ was like. And was extremely envious of the many many concerts that I have attended. Because, you see, artists in our genre of music 🎢 don't tour in Egypt . πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ So. Amad had never had the opportunity to see any of his favorite artists perform live.


And then  one ☝️ day I saw this post from Amad in newsfeed:


"Never again"


He posted that going on, πŸ˜’ hmm, eight years now. And, checking his timeline I see-he has stuck to his promise.


And I started wondering, what happened to Amad that possessed him to leave Facebook? He was a gentle, kind young man, so I don't think it had to do with problems with Facebook peeps.πŸ‘€ Did he ditch his musical life and return to his religion? Or did he meet a partner and marry? I don't think it was the latter, because his post 'never again' has a negative πŸ‘Ž connotation to it. 


I miss Amad. And I will never know the answer to my question of what became of him. And it reminds me of something Paul wrote to me and is shared in the pages πŸ“š of CyberDayze: 


"Social networking: You have the ability to establish a certain degree of anonymity while being able to express talents, interests and passions in a way we cannot do in a terrestrial way. The downside is someone can disappear and then anonymity sucks. You miss them."


Tiz the downfall of Intangible friends, is it not?🀷♀️
