My husband closed his Facebook and Twitter accounts today, saying he's tired of being 'out there' so to speak.  I get it.  With a new year and all of its freshness, it's appealing to de-clutter and tidy up a bit.  I've paired my FB account down so that it's basically just family, or what I call my family.  Seems a bit heartless to take people off of a so-called friends' list, but when there's no communication that's ever reciprocated then it seems pointless to pretend a chumminess that's really not there.  Just because I went to the same church or high school with someone (way back when) doesn't make us pals.  I mean, really.  I wasn't keen on high school anyhow.  Shyness does that.

I think I enjoy having a tight circle around me.  A few friends, yes, but a crowd surrounding me, definitely no.

And really it feels good to have less to think about.  Fewer things to be responsible for.
