Breaking up is hard to do
So here's the thing:
I have been seriously considering deleting my journal. In fact I've been planning it really, for many months now. I need to cut back on my time spent here (cuz even when I don't take time to comment I am drawn to read read read). There are other reasons, more personal ones about how this place can affect me, how I want to spend my personal energy, but I find those reasons hard to sort out and explain.
And anyway the end result is despite planning this for several months I can't bring myself to give up this space. I need to take out the time-suck and energy-draining factors, but I need to keep in the personal connections and the benefit of personal journalling. I can't paper journal so much anymore with the carpal tunnel syndrome. Writing with my hands is very difficult and painful where typing is easier and more comfortable. So anyway, yeah I am gonna try, instead of deleting this journal, changing the way I spend my time here.
That means a radical slash of my friends list. Know that there is not one person on my flist who I don't care for and respect and learn from. In fact, there are many people not on my list who I would love to add to my list, if not for all the offline demands on my time and energy. So paring down is NOT easy, and I absolutely want to keep in touch with folks I've come to know here.
That said, I plan to cut my list down dramatically today. I hope you all understand what I am trying for here. E-mail me if you wanna.
Love to all.
