Streamline and Simplify

I started pulling myself off of social networking sites today. I feel so pent up an strange... like I have an audience of several hundred people to say something to, and not wanting to say it to them. I hate wanting to express something and knowing that half the people reading either don't care or are people I can't be authentic towards because of family or something else. I want to shed anything unnecessary. To make it so that the only way to contact me is to reach out specificially to me in some personal manner.

Since I have always had an internet presence since the dawn of time, that must continue. But this is where i will be. And possibly there isn't a soul reading that, and it's fine. Because this is about what it used to be about for me. Chronicling my life and my thoughts for MY own purposes. I just have to stop feeling like free to speak and very censored all at the same time.

I just want to pull away until only those who really care know anything about me and what I'm doing. Then I'll be happy.

  1. I came home today and noticed something missing when I logged into Facebook like I do once a day. At first I was kind of confused, but then I came to my Google Reader page and saw this. I was suddenly really glad that I have this to come to. I am really glad that I can still see the piece of your life. Because as selfish as this sounds, I would really miss you if you went away.
    I am glad you have gotten to the point where you can write, and say what you please and in the end say 'this, this is for me'
