i was on facebook tonight, something i rarely do. i mainly went on to delete old wall posts and begin the strenuous task of deleting everything i possibly could before deactivating my account. in the process i came across posts that made me laugh until my sides hurt, tear up a bit, feel remorse, regret, and joy. a lot of the posters of said posts i’ve lost contact with, or haven’t seen in a while. things happen, i realize this, we grow up, move away, get jobs that consume too much of our time, get married, start families, and sometimes grow apart.
i also realize all of this is natural. i know i’ve changed just as much as a lot of my friends and former friends have. although i feel a twinge of sadness, i know that the people that i matter most to and that matter most to me will always be there. for that i am forever grateful.
and by the way, screw you facebook. i don’t really need you anymore.

great post! Facebook is just one big joke. I hate it. Haven’t been on it in 18 months, never wish to return!! x
Truly is Jules! I had deactivated mine for a long time and then activated it on a whim! What a mistake!
Funny, I just joined FB about a month ago.. For the first time EVER. I’m proud of you for letting it go though! It seems like it can be hard to officially cut ties to the past but I like the thought of looking forward instead, something FB isn’t quite as useful for.. Anyway, cheers to you!
