Sadly
As you may or may have not noticed, I haven't been around LJ a lot. Life has been incredibly busy, and I keep thinking it's going to get better, but it doesn't. As Erin gets older, I find there's more things taking up our time, and I'm trying to balance that while also carving out time for myself.
It used to be that LJ was part of that "me" time. I used to like to come here and read everyone's adventures, disappointments, and frustrations, and commiserate and/or share mine. Like so many, though, I'm just not getting what I want or need out of LJ anymore. It's changed, and I've changed, and it just doesn't hold the same place in my heart. People I've connected with have come and gone; some I see other places, some I never hear from anymore. LJ has become lonely for me. I've taken a break from it, and found out, overall, that I didn't really miss it much.
So, reluctantly but with lots of thought, I've done a fairly substantial friends cut. I always hate to do them, because I know a lot of people take them personally or just don't agree with the idea, but it feels necessary to me for a few reasons. I find myself skimming my f-list and not commenting when I do, which isn't fair to you. I know this seems like a stupid break-up line, but it really, truly, isn't you. I think every single one of you are great people. It's just that I need to start reclaiming some of the time I've spent online, and this seems one of the best ways to do it.
I wish you all the best life has to offer.
