Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

No Contact is the Best Solution


I have notice for the past months when I have been staying at home you come across friends who you chat with everyday or you have friends who suddenly disappear without letting you know what has happened to them.

I use to question their absence and leave messages to my friends to let them know how they are doing but sometimes you come across they only seem to just read your message without replying back.

I came to the point of my life to do the reverse not contact them and let them miss you if they feel like chatting with you there must be a good reason why they are not chatting with you.

It can be for personal reason, work related and just a time to have space between among friends but no matter what some day that friend who is no longer in contact with you will call or message you when they feel it is the right time for them to reach out to you.

There is no reason to wait for their call or message for them because if they really want to reach out to you they will find away.

You can begin moving on with your life to preoccupy the time you use to chat with them and do other things than always looking at your phone.

I have been there so I know the feeling but I realized if they don’t want to chat with me that is alright because it is not like I can live without them you’re the one who controls your life and if they chose not to chat with you.

You can find something else other than waiting for them to reply.

Sometimes you need to find another outlook in life to give you a quick picker upper and see what else you can do with your life each day sometimes we wake up in a really good mood or we are sad just like anyone else.

In everyday we have different moods and it is unpredictable in the way we wake up each day.
