If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

Facebook Diet

With my husbands encouragement, over the past month I have been shedding excess facebook weight!

I have come to realize and accept I DONT really have 400 friends.

Its been really interesting topic to ponder about. 
How many of these 400 people have I actually hung out with? Had a conversation with?
Shared secrets with?

NOT many at all.

So why share your thoughts, feelings, children's pictures with a whole network of people?
People who you NEVER MET?
People who may have passed by once or twice on the street?
People who are friends of friends?

People who never really knew me, people who cant tell you my favorite color, drink, or song, or what my dogs name is.
It was time to delete these impostors, some people I really felt bad about deleting, 
But I set my standards and If these people didn't meet my criteria they were gone!
I started with the A's and am still working my way through! Im on the S's and as the crowed  gets smaller and smaller its getting harder and harder.

My goal is 100 close friends and family! 

People I can share my thoughts & inner most secrets with.

People who know my past & where I'm from

People who wont judge me when I am having a bad day and blurt out something crazy.

Not having a mother is really hard, she never loved me or cared, and quite offten loved to tell me these things.
All  of the abuse, how ugly I was & even unwanted.... This things I keep bottled in sometimes need to come out and sometimes they come out on facebook. All these rude comments I get from people who don't understand is really unnecessary. 
So if you are one of the unfortunate people who get deleted and don't know why...
You fell in the group titled
" I really LIKE them, don't want to offend them & would hate for them to eventually get offended by my out bursts"

So I shed the facebook friends and my facebook at 202 has never been so lean. 
I most go on & reach my goal.
Only my closest & dearest of friends & family. 
Sorry acquaintances.
