Encounters

I said good bye to myspace and facebook and all other social networking accounts in the wee hours of the morning, namely around midnight. Suprisingly it was not a difficult choice or decision and there was not much hesitation. I know that when one is truly ready to make a change in their lives there is no hesitation, only certainty, and there was in fact an abundance of certainty.

I now find it amusing that prior to last night when I had pondered ridding my life of these vacuous time stealing traps, I was hesitant to do so. The necessity of depth and integrity requried for true social interaction and relationships obliteratied any attachement I may have had to these feints. I will admit I'm a tad ashamed that it has taken me such a great length of time to relinquish my attachement. There was a tinge of heartache when I realized that I spent great amounts of time with these vices. The heartache stemmed from the fact that I could have been fostering real relationships yet I allowed the superficial to be my muse. I feel a bit of a loss not for the sites, or the social networking, but I feel the loss of quality time I could have been spending with others.

Well they say a wise man (woman), only needs to learn once. Let us hope that I'm now that wise woman and I no longer fall vicitim to such superficial nonesense in this lifetime. I know that I'm dedicated to forming relationships with a deep substance and I'm hoping that in that I will not even need to be concerned with encounters of the superficial kind.
