Hello, old friends.
Hi there.
I'm not entirely sure if anyone on my friend's list uses this anymore. I somewhat forgot about livejournal;the new social networks have taken it over. I miss the anonymity of livejournal. I feel everyone on my facebook pages knows the *outer me* and everything on there really is so fake. On here, I can really express my true feelings without fear of hurting someone or messing up my relationships with others.
It's amazing how much we rely on these social networks, on our cell phones, any type of technology to really maintain communication with our friends. What happened to the times when we would actually need to sit down for coffee in order to catch up on our lives? Anymore we don't feel the need to ask questions about what's going on in each other's lives, we post how we feel or what we are up to in a status or sending a quick text. Are we taking out the human in ourselves? Humans need that physical contact, that emotional connection, can we really get the same feeling of connection to each others via text?
What kind of hypocrite am I? Writing all of this on an internet journal. I wonder if I can go back to the way it used to be. I check my Facebook 100 times a day, and I sent 5000 texts a month. This would definitely be a good experiment. I kind of fear what technology is going to be like in the next 10 years..
