In the last couple of weeks I've gotten rid of over 100 FB friends, tons from HS. It's not that I don't like my classmates, I just quit caring anymore, I think. After 15 years of not being a student at Spanish Fork HS, and probably almost as many years of not seeing some of them, meh. I realized that in both the short run and long run, mostly (most of the) FB "friendships" don't really matter. I like FB, but I like the idea of paring down its scope in my life.
I've been all about trimming things down lately, getting rid of things I don't need. It's about being unencumbered by stuff that I've surrounded myself with.
I guess I'm just searching now for a simpler essence. Maybe the path of least resistance, too?
Whatever the root of this all is, I'm enjoying feeling lighter.
Yeah! We are still facebook friends! I need to go through and edit!

Me too! Wahoo! I'm trying to get down to my essence too...trying to figure out what stays and what goes. It is a mighty process.
ReplyDeleteSo...Arrested Development while folding laundry ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling the similarly. My cousin Amelia has it down to an art.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about minimalism. Ben makes fun of me because I routinely work through clothes/papers/toys....all that stuff, to get rid of it. It makes life MUCH simpler, much less baggage-filled.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for finding your balance!
