After much consideration and debate...

olde_fashionedTo all of my readers and friends,
I've been thinking about this for a long while, and after painful consideration and debate, I think it's best if I make official what most of you will probably have noticed already. Due to significant changes in my life, I've had to cut back dramatically on my internet time, and this of course affects my life on LJ. Therefore, I will be trimming down my Friends List, eliminating those who rarely/never comment, or journals that appear to be "dead", leaving communities I no longer have an interest/participate in, and so forth.
Generally I loathe that mentality where "unfriendings" are frequent and cause for taking personal offense, so while I find myself doing what others might argue is essentially the same thing, the reasons behind it are motivated by necessity as opposed to a desire to cause spiteful "drama" or hurt feelings. Truly this whole thing saddens me and I hate that I have to do it at all. :-(
So please, to everyone who finds this an LJ notification in their inbox, don't take this personally or make it dramatic when it oughtn't to be. I wish everyone well and all of the best!

Date: 2010-05-27 07:04 am (UTC)I totally understand the keep-LJ-positive thing, as I'm that way myself and try to keep (most) of the crap in my life out of my "online life" as well.
Now knowing that you're still reading, comments aren't necessary even though I love getting them! ;-) I missed hearing from you btw.
I kind of read between the lines about Sean? I don't remember you blogging that, either, but I wanted to sock him in the nose if he's the one that instigated it. If you ever need to talk about it...*hugs*

Date: 2010-06-05 04:46 am (UTC)Yeah I tried to keep my LJ & Face book positive. it helped at times. I missed our little comment exchanges. :D
With Sean he did. He called me up at one in the morning and ended it. :( It wasn't good. *hugs back* But I am in alot of ways now much happier.

Date: 2010-07-14 05:01 am (UTC)I really miss our exchanges too...maybe we should both try to drop the other a comment ever so often more faithfully! I know I'm especially bad about that since getting a job and moving, but I can try harder. ;-)
What a @!@$#^!#. *scowls blackly* Not to sound trite, but you're better off without him, if that's how he treated you. *hugs*
