I'm just going to be upfront about this, because there's no need to sugarcoat it, you know?
I just looked at my friends list(via my userinfo), and I looked at some of the names, and honestly? I cannot recall the last time I even commented to some of you, or even you commenting to me. And I'm sure a lot of you will call me out as a hypocrite, because I'm always going on about how I "love each person on my friends list," and don't get me wrong, don't ever get me wrong- I do love my friends list. But when it gets to the point where I can't even recall the last time we even talked or commented? Well, it isn't really fair to keep each friended, right? And honestly, some of you I cut, I barely read your posts or even know what's going on with you. As I said, it's just not fair, you know? And then we have the difference of interest, and hey, I know first hand that opposites attract, but if you know me, you know I really love talking about fandom-related things. The few of you I cut, honestly, I don't think there was ever a time when we really talked about anything we had in common. And that's probably a poor excuse for cutting someone, but the first thing I say when introducing new people on my journal is that 1. I'm very random, and 2. I'm extremely fangirly. And I am. And I like to think that with the majority of the people I have friended that we can talk about fandom-related things.
It's very rare that I do friend cuts anymore, and this honestly started out as going through and finding dead journals(because I did find a few). But then it progressed from there. So don't think it's because I don't like you anymore, or that I did it out of spite, or even as some kind of personal attack- because I didn't. You're all great people, and there was a time when we
did talk, and
did comment to each other. But like I said, if it's gotten to the point where I can't recall the last time we commented to each other, or read each other's posts? I just think it isn't fair to keep someone friended when you aren't commenting, or even reading their journal.
I like to think that I'm not a mean person, so trust me when I say: I wish you all nothing but the best.
