This is a shared page made especially for Kym - with a Y.

Coming Soon!!!
I started this page during the Newscum Covid lockdown in CA which lasted for years (and is still a lingering issue to this day). Since then, I have designed a much better layout to make finding and viewing content much easier. I will be adding the new format to this page soon if you find this page useful. Most people use social media to stay in touch, but I do not trust sites like Facebook since I think it is a dangerous cesspool and can be a time sink.
This page is updated automatically if and when I make updates to my status section (below) which is shared across all shared pages. I often forget to update the status section and/or just include content there that I found interesting on any given day.
But rest assured that this page is designed to share information specifically for and with you.

Since I used the phrase “rest assured” in the callout above, I thought I would include this video below that came to mind.

Why Do Toxic People Excel At Making Friends? Here’s What’s Really Going On, According To Experts.
Current Status (updated 11/3/26)
California will pass on making changes and continue to vote for the dems. How bad things have to get before we change course is anyone’s guess? I didn’t think it could get this bad, and yet, it’s not bad enough. This country is being taken over by those who hate it, want to burn it down, and put a new system in place to cater to radical leftist policies. This election day may be the beginning of the end.
I like the “Master Brayton” part.

I will start this section on your page now as a passive attempt to intervene since you are giving signs to many people that your life may be spiraling out of control. Many are worried but feel helpless. It is not a good situation, to say the least.
I may be the most intelligent person in your life - IDK. You’ve told me that so many times. I have only recently said anything about my intelligence outloud since I never gave it much thought. But the last two relationships I have had, my intelligence was brought up by the other person whereas I never thought about it. Yes, in hindsight, I have been very successful in the world of academia and achievemens in my career. I’ve achieved more than the average Joe, but I never put myself above others or went around tooting my own horn.
Many (most) people in my life tooted their own horn. I understood it as the proclivity for people to want to be respected for their achievements. In light of career advancement and life achievements, those who impressed others did better. I was never comfortable touting my achievements and felt more comfortable acknowledging the achievements of others. For me, success and achievements were wonderful regardless of who was behind the effort. I knew I had achieved success in many areas, and that was enough for me. I had a philosophy that real success is often better when not touted, and rather, simply acknowledged by others out genuine interest in another’s achievements. I’ve lived by that rule all my life. Now, I have reached the age that maybe it’s time to blow my own horn, but not to make myself feel better. Rather, I seem to be in the cross hairs of late and needing to defending myself against others who have perceived my reticence as weakness and stupidity and an opportunity to cast aspersions on me.
I have known you for a long time. We worked together. We had good times outside of work (nothing ever close to scandalous, though). We confided in eachother and shared some very personal experiences, and we have experienced many aspects of life together over the years.
I have always been open, honest, and a loyal friend. You have trusted me and given me ample opportunity to “bamboozle” you as many others have done that you had let in your life who were opportunists looking for their next victim. I’ve been a constant in your life - on the straight and narrow and never wavering. I’ve always been sensible, rational, considerate, accommodating, and willing to do almost anything for you in a moment of need. Kym, you cry wolf too often, and that’s unfair to those who care about you. I never knew if I should have dropped everything in my life to travel thousands of miles to make sure you’re ok. You know I would if you were depending on me in a real crisis. I didn’t know if at times, you didn’t know whether you were in a real crisis or not, so again, I give you a lot of leeway and try to avoid coming down with a heavy hand of blame.
But Kym, you need to understand what your actions and words mean to others. If you are as intelligent as you say you are (and you are very intelligent), then you should try to work very hard to figure things out and stop abusing others. I understand that your addictions and other emotional aspects in your life could make it extremely difficult to knock out all the obstacles you are dealing with and think with a clear mind. I get it. Remember, I’m that intelligent person you’ve acknowledged that I am, and I try hard to understand things.
How can you treat people with such disdain - the very people who love you the most and want nothing more than to see you get better and live a long, healthful life? I’ll answer that question for you, although I know you know why. Aside from the abuse you have endured (and that is nothing to just write off), the drugs and alcohol you have relied on to deal with the pain and bad memories have turned you into the person you are today. But I know that you’re not “that person” you have presented today, and I know you know it as well. Deep down. I know the real Kym is still there.
I hope you don’t prove me wrong. I just went through a terrible experience with someone who I had known for decades. She came back into my life recently with what I believed to be a true story of mistreatment, abuse, and bad luck. I was 100% convinced I could help her and save her from being completely destroyed. Her situation was extremely dire, but it wasn’t too late. I gave of my time and money over years to pull her out of her situation. I felt so lucky to have come into her life at a time when it was do or die for her, and I knew she would not failed with my help. But in the end, she turned from what I perceived as a person who had been the victim of many people into the opportunist - the very people she convinced me that she had been a victim of. I realized too late that she was a very dangerous person who played everyone in her life to her benefit with absolutely zero empathy for others. It’s a very scary and nasty thing to go through.
