So yes, I am deleting my journal.
That's kind of a given.
Somehow having a prominent online personality is no longer appealing to me. Actually it disgusted me to think I was so wrapped up in the false sense of friendship and involvement that the internet holds. This world wide whatever is a very useful tool in the networking of like-minded individuals but I am done typing what I want to do with my life and want to start doing it. Why must I invite individuals into my personal business anyway? And for that matter who cares? I don't anymore. Friendships and strong relationships can be sparked and moulded by this vast space of technology but where is that real connection? It's not what I ever thought it was. If I want to bitch and complain I'll call someone to talk or record it with endless dribbling commentary in my paper journal or use the energy to create art. I don't need to dull my metaphorical vision by staring at a screen in hopes of validation by so called peers. In 1000 years what will have become of the internet, blogs, sites like this and the like? Nothing, it will be an archaic reality based solely on the intent of others. I for one, want to liberate myself from the restraints of 'free form' prisons like social guidelines and civilized containment.
Not this girl, not any more.
I had a few thoughts about how this may be selfish to deny the people that care about me the thoughts of my on going life. Well, if you care about me then let's make a collective effort to keep in touch in real time, my time, our time. I also thought that it may be construed as a drama baited hook to delete what almost defined me as an 'online being'. See it how ever you want, I feel great about it. Like hating a job for ever and finally letting your resignation letter flow from heart to hand to pen to paper.
I plan on keeping a small personal update in the zine I am putting out entitled, Brick Foot. And I am always available through email, phone or a knock on the door.
