So I made my blog private. Super annoying, right? Right! Ugh.
I've been blogging for nine years and I've always had a "public but unsearchable" privacy setting. I've always been fine with it.
Except last night I woke up in the middle of the night with the thought that I should make my blog private. Kind of out of the blue. Nothing has happened. There are no creepers that I know of.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But it matches the inclinations I'm having to draw inward. In the last week I've gone through all my Instagram and Facebook "friends" and pared the list down to only those that I actually associate with in real life. Sorry people I went to high school with and haven't seen or talked to since. Sorry acquaintances who used to be in my ward or neighborhood but one or both of us moved, and we haven't had a conversation since. Sorry people I used to play volleyball with, but don't anymore and that was the only thing we had in common. Sorry extended family members who I know I'm biologically related to but don't know if I could pick out of a crowd. Good-bye.
I'm down-sizing. I'm craving closeness and connection and realism. I don't really have a desire to be "out there" right now.

Glad I made the cut. ;) But I hear you on that. I'm taking an indefinite break from facebook, for quite a few reasons, actually. Instagram seems a little more real to me, but I've also been paring back big time on who I follow and who gets to see my life. I think, if nothing else, it helps my brain not feel quite so cluttered.
