And I'm Done.

I just went through a massive friends cut and community removal thing. I'm going on hiatus (if the out-of-date entry ever shows up) for my personal journal. When I do get online, it's really just for modding of abc_onceupon and partaking in dmhgchallenge. Real life is so busy, I barely have time to do anything else

I'm overwhelmed by the responses I've gotten to this. I truly felt alone in all of this, so thank you so much, Claire. This really does mean the world to me. And I seriously hope I didn't offend you in any way. I know the section about those not living in the US is a SERIOUSLY touchy one because it's very vague and I don't really explain why very well. Thank you though, friend.

I can't believe people are doing that to you just because your viewpoints and beliefs are different.

You and I differ on many points but never would I say "friendship over" because of it, because IMHO there is more to a friendship than that.

Politics should never be the determining factor in a friendship. Religion either really. But unfortunately, people will be people and do whatever think they should because some like to let stupid shit get mixed in when it doesn't need to be there at all.

You're the light of my life, you know that? :) I swear, Demelza, I just adore you so much. You've stuck with me when I'm at my ugliest and when I'm at my best and i am SO blessed to know you. And this means the world to me. Entries like this can seriously backfire, but for the first time in a LONG time, i don't feel so alone. I love you.

We definitely disagree on many points here but dude, you are awesome and wonderful so haters gonna hate and you don't need them anyway. :D ♥

I love you so fecking much, Analove. *JUST GLOMP* Thank you for being patient with me.

that really is sad, and why i avoid discussing politics at all cost - a lot of my opinions would not be popular either.

It's insane how people get when there are differences of opinion - esp on religion and politics.

I'm sorry people defriended over it, i might not agree with all you believe (although I do agree with a lot of it) but i certainly wouldn't unfriend you over it.

**HUGS**

Icon win. :D

I try to do the same thing as much as I can. And it does backfire a lot though. I'm such an easygoing person that when i finally state my beliefs, most people can't understand why I even HAVE opinions and that they're different from their own. :/

Thank you so much, Nicole. You're a wonderful person and it means so much to me that I do seem to have a few who will stick around. :) *HUGE hugs*

I'm sorry the election season was so hard for you. I find it completely outrageous that people defriended you (whether online or real life) for having different beliefs. I don't understand why people can't just agree to disagree sometimes.

For example your political beliefs are quite opposite to mine, but that doesn't mean I think any less of you, or want to cut you out of my life at all. That's just insane. It would be different if you were out there day in, day out, trying to shove your beliefs down other people's throats and not respecting their right to their own opinion, but THAT'S NOT YOU.

I'm really, really sorry you had to deal with such ass-hatty people. You don't deserve that bb. If they can't see past your differences in order to be able to have you as the wonderful friend you are, they don't deserve you.

Hopefully you'll be back online in a personal capacity at some point. Whenever you're ready we'll be here. *hugs*

GOD, Cassie, you always know EXACTLY the right thing to say to make me feel all squishy. :) And I just love you to death for it. I seriously think even just WRITING this entry, however harsh it could be was honestly enough to help take he weight off of me. Because my beliefs are really obscure and surprise a lot of people. I found having your response and the response of my other dear friends here was icing on the cake because as this entry went up, it was like a huge sigh of relief. I didn't feel like I was...hiding(?) anymore.

I love you so much, my dear friend.

Awe, glad to hear it hun. *squishes* And I can totally see how just writing this post would be a relief for you. I think it's even a good thing between you and your true friends (not those idiots who defriended you), because seeing things laid out from your point of view sheds more light on it. At least for me I feel like I have a better understanding of why your political views are what they are, and even in instances when I don't agree with them, I feel like I can completely appreciate them. Does that make sense?

Love you too bb. *hugs*
