Mulling things over.
My interest in the LiveJournal community has waned in recent months. The only real updates I get are FandomSecrets and sky_dark's daily cucumis posts. Other than that, it's just a bunch of fic I'm not interested in reading and general woe-is-me posts.
Seriously thinking of doing away with my LJ. It's become a chore, and I'm not really that involved with fandom anymore since certain things have been popping up in my personal life. I think the inevitable has happened; I might have outgrown fandom. Dafuq, right? I know, I was surprised, too. I just think it's time for me to grow up and start actually doing the things I wish I was doing, instead of sitting at home reading stories about fictional people doing unfeasible things. Don't get me wrong, if it's your thing, more power to ya', but I think I'm done with it all. Some things have been happening in my personal life that have given me a different perspective, and I'd much rather pursue them without the distraction of wondering when this or that fic will update and oh shit, I've never seen this particular fanart before I must scrutinize every inch and commit it to deepest memory.
I always said that if something was strong enough to pull me away from my escapism, it deserves my attention. Well, maybe it's happening after all. Who knows? All I know is, possibly the best thing in my life is playing out right now, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to grasp it. I hope any of you still following my posts will understand, and respect my decision. Sorry if I left anything unfinished, but it's just not the right time for me to get wrapped up in make-believe.
