Pulling In
Jun. 30th, 2010 06:36 pmA very wise person once observed that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
This journal was once a vibrant place where I wrote about spirituality, academia, work challenges, family, adventures, and love. These days I don't write about much at all except the last dregs of grief and relatively boring everyday life. I'm doing a lot of personal work, but it's happening fairly deep and it's hard to write about.
I keep coming back to LiveJournal expecting it to be the place it once was for me, but as I've stopped having much to offer others I've been interacting less with my friends here and subsequently not getting much out of it. This is in no way the fault of the friends who have been so faithful through several years of upheaval.
But it's time to start changing some habits, and LiveJournal is one place where changes need to be made. I'm not going to close down this journal, but I am going to tighten it up. I'm going to do a lot of friends pruning. No one is being cut because of dislike. I just need to reduce the amount of energy I spend here.
I'm trying to leave a lot of things open for change and transformation right now, so I'm not going to make any predictions about what my future here will look like. I'm just going to let things evolve.
Blessings to everyone.
