[ Major Friends Cut ]

[bleed_peroxide]

I've been thinking about this for a while, but I've become increasingly uncomfortable writing in this journal. I feel like this is my best outlet for people I've grown very close to, since all of them know that I'm more adept at expressing my thoughts in the written word than attempting to verbalize it. But at the same time, I'm feeling more and

Honestly I'm contemplating doing the same - I'm having to filter a lot of things pretty heavily lately, and I don't like it. I wouldn't dare to tell others what to put in their own personal journal, and feeling like I have to censor a majority of what I say so as not to offend others? Not a fun feeling.

It's like... I don't know. My motivation for getting a LiveJournal was a lot different than my motivation is now to keep up with it, for lack of a better way to put it. If I have to have a bunch of filters, that's probably a sign right there that I should rethink how I'm doing it. I like the idea of a small but close flist more than a larger one with some folks that are very casual acquaintances, even for the internet.

I'm trying to work on the trimming process BUT LIVEJOURNAL IS SUCKING DICK AND BEING STUPID

Yeah exactly. :T I need to get used to the idea that just because I like someone doesn't mean I need them reading every little bit of my life, you know? I can have friends and not have them know everything. I just hope the people I cut understand... Though if they get angry because I removed them on LJ are they really understanding friends...? Bleh sorry, I'm rambling.

(And I'm free after 7 tomorrow, Diana's going to text you anyway but I wanted to beat her to it. <3)

When I checked earlier I was still able to see your protected entries which means you hadn't cut me, if that has changed since then, ignore this comment :P (And know that I do understand as I'm quite the same way--prefer the small close group as opposed to a large group of casuals).

Thanks for keeping me around. I know we only just met but I do enjoy reading your entries. And I'm not exactly a person who is easily offended, on the contrary, I'm kind of hard to offend :P

It's a difficult thing to do, but it's definitely the right thing to do. ♥

Props to you for still keeping people on, because I couldn't handle it at all anymore! I just don't want to share stuff at ALL on LJ now. XD I feel like if folks care, we actually talk and such (see also: you guys!) so yeah. :3

To be fair, you've also been on the site far longer than I have. It'll probably take me a few years to feel completely burned out, and even then, it might be hard because I rely so much on this site (pathetic as it sounds) to articulate certain things. I've never gone without any sort of diary, even when I was a kid who wrote in a notebook - it's cheaper and easier than therapy, haha. I don't need it so much for locals (see also: you guys! ♥) but it's still good to have anyway.

It's just that I mainly want people I feel very close to on here, since I'm tired of censoring myself because ZOMG! I might offend someone or... whatever.

I think I made my first livejournal-type journal back on DeadJournal (lol) with Kris around the time I met him. It's been forever. XD

I started out on GreatestJournal when I was... oh god, I think twelve years old. I wish GJ was still alive - I would love to read some of the stuff I wrote back then, when I was all pure and pious.

I'm just glad you're deciding to stay on ♥
