Closing The Doors

Listening to - Only Hope (Mandy Moore)

I've recently removed a number of entries from my blog, mostly those containing personal pictures. Yes, it's gonna be quite dull from now on as I've decided not to upload my photos here anymore. I suddenly felt uncomfortable having my pictures up on my public blog. Ugh, perhaps my self-esteem is declining? I just felt like maintaining a certain degree of anonymity and mystique.

Even my facebook profile is now limited to 'friends-only', and I've deleted more than 200 contacts who randomly added me to their list. No more FC support for me! But at least now I know everyone on my list, or somewhat. There are still a handful whom I've yet to meet in person. That's alright cuz we still communicate, chat, or spam each others' wall. Online friends are still fine, as long as the link is not left idle. I hate it when random people add me up to "be friends" but we never exchange messages and end up getting stuck on each others' list for no apparent reason. That just defies the purpose of social networking sites. Dead-contacts as I call them. Don't know them, don't need them - *delete*. Gosh, I'm making myself sound really arrogant.

As weird as this may sound, I'm trying to expand my social circle by making it smaller. It makes perfect sense, though some may beg to differ. I would rather have 10 close friends than hundreds of acquaintances. It's like having a hundred of your friends lost in a sea of thousands of contacts. As I see it, quality over quantity! I don't want to end up losing a diamond while I was too busy collecting stones. Then again, I could be wrong. I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
