:'( I MISS U!!! IRL!!!! (Please excuse the typos, it took forever to type.)

A little over a month ago, I determined that I need to really focus my efforts, at all times, to studying for my PRAXIS (that's a teacher's education program entrance exam). Knowing that I wake each morning, reaching for my phone and read facebook posts, stopping in between to dress children, make coffee, eat breakfast, walk my daughter to bus... ( Read more... )

I haven't even finished reading this and I'm already saying "Me, too!" I logged out of FB for a week as an experiment, before Thanksgiving. I logged back on sometime in January, but I read posts and that's it. I don't like posts or make stupid comments or whatever the hell I was doing before. And I don't miss it. Neither does anyone else miss me, apparently, because no one has noticed. No one knows that I came thisclose to not making it through December, because as many FB friends as I have, I just didn't know who would answer if I called at 3AM just because I needed someone to talk to me like they cared. When I logged out of FB, I also changed my profile so that my birthday didn't show. I figured the people who remembered would remember and the ones that wouldn't, well, they didn't know me well enough anyway. Didn't even get a text from my dad. That hurt.

Uh, anyway. TMI. I miss having real life friends, too. That's what I was trying to say.

For your reply. I have wondered all night, should I post this over to Facebook?

I saw your comment here and thought: who is this? I remember the screen name but not the person. Perhaps that all I have become to others - a screen name.

In this moment, though, right now, I know that you are so much more than that. I am too. People shouldn't live this way, walking amongst each other, hurting this way, while our friends never notice.

I guess it's not thier fault really. They are like everyone else, caught in the web. I never thought it would be me, the lover of all things technological, to say this. But, I can't live this way.

I'm glad you made it through. December was rough for me this year too. Just hold on okay. There is more out there than this. At least now I know I'm not crazy and alone and I guess that means by default that you aren't either.

Somehow our world must learn to balance what is new and awe inspiring with what is tried and true.

Well, to be fair, I am a little crazy, but not in a lock-her-up kind of way.

And, we don't know each other, except as fellow BSG fans. But so what? Some of my longest offline/online friendships started with X-Files and livejournal, uh, MANY moons ago.

We're not alone, and that's really, really important.

Hah. Who isn't crazy?

I've never snubbed anyone for being crazy, that's for sure.

It's so late/early. I prolly won't sleep. But I gotta try.

Have a wicked beautiful day if you can and if you can't..well screw it and try again tomorrow. :)

And thank you. Just for responding. Sometimes validation can be so healing.
