(no subject)
I think I'm done with LJ. With the exception of a couple friends I have made, I just don't feel like I'm a part of this group.
I'm not going to delete my account, but I am making it a private journal and/or a journal with only a couple friends. I'm not upset or anything, I'm just not as interested in LJ anymore. It has a different feel than it did when I joined it.
I'm not doing this because I like Facebook more or because I've been offended by anyone, but simply because I feel like I could be getting more out of my journal. I want to hash out my feelings and my life choices with people that I talk to on a regular basis, rather than a group of people I feel like I don't really know that well.
Please know that I'm not blaming anyone for not putting in effort or anything like that. I know that I have lacked a significant amount of effort in most friendships on here. I feel like I haven't tried as hard as I normally would, and I'm not sure why that is. I think it may have something to do with the age difference between myself and a large portion of this group, or the fact that most of the LJ events I've attended are not really conducive to friendship-building conversations.
If you feel like I've made a mistake, or if you feel like we would be missing out on a friendship by me deleting you, talk to me. I just don't hear from almost any of you outside of LJ, so I'm not sure what kind of effect this will have. I'm not trying to stir up any emotions or make anyone feel like I don't want to be their friend in particular, I just don't feel like this is the best medium for me to use to make and keep friends. It makes it too easy to ignore friendships, and that's not my style.
