I am mostly adding friends currently! Just leave a comment on this post and I will be happy to add you. Feel free to give me some context as to how we know each other or what we have in common.
If you do not comment here or anywhere else explicitly stating that you are friending me, I will assume that you're spam-friending me and will not likely friend back.
There's not many people that actually use LJ anymore, so I went through and removed a bunch of friends that hadn't updated in ages, or that didn't mutually interact anymore. Just an FYI, to help me feel a little more safe in my private space. If you'd like to be able to read friends-only entries, feel free to comment here!
I've been SUPER introverted lately, and I'm still not sure if it's a good thing, but I feel myself becoming a lot more protective of my time/energy and who I share it with. I haven't been posting as much here (as shown by this being my first non-private post in October), but I also haven't been posting as much on Twitter or Facebook, either.
Honestly, I'm only really active on Instagram and Snapchat lately, and both of those are probably...half the activity levels of my heyday. Feel free to add me on those networks if you'd like: c_hrista on Instagram and bamchrist on Snapchat.
ANYWAY, all this to say that I think I'm going to be taking a Livejournal hiatus, and I'm not actually sure how long it's going to last. I'm having trouble keeping up with all the entries, and it's overwhelming me to try and I think I just need ... space.
Feel free to unfriend me if you'd like, as I won't be doing much posting or reading for who knows how long.
Eugh, I hate these entries. I just did a friends cut. The majority of the journals were old/dead journals that haven't been updated in years, but a few were either a) entries that I didn't have any comments to add to or b) people that didn't seem interested in interacting with my journal or c) no real "clicking" of friendship apparent.
Sorry for any misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Mostly, I just feel like I put a lot of effort into trying to read people's entries and commenting, and if I'm not getting even a portion of that interest in return it makes me want to refocus my energies on people who actually want to learn more about each other.
No, this isn't an April Fools' joke. We're 92 days into 2016 and like all those flowers in the northern hemisphere, I'm starving for some sunshine.
