Under 300

I am sorta sheepishly sad and proud to say I have leveled my Facebook friends list to less than 300 people. The actual people I see is even less given the number of people I have hidden or blocked or whatever it's called when you no longer see their posts.

When I started this Facebook thing I never wanted to amass a friends list of people I didn't really know. It's happened... somewhat. I still have some friends I don't know, or only know virtually, or simply want to 'follow.' But we're kindreds. However, I take friendship pretty serious, even on Facebook. I don't know that this part is something to be proud of, because the lesser part of me has unfriended people just to "show them" or say that I do not want to be associated with them. Again, not proud, but that's the reality of life in my world anymore. No bullshit. Or... maybe less than other times...

Anyway, I removed a number of people in the past weeks. Political stuff and people who I didn't feel were probably even on the format anymore. I could easily probably drop another 100 without hesitation, but, you know, I do have a heart in here somewhere.

So, I'm just saying, I had always wanted less than 300 friends on Facebook. Not that I want to be unfriendly, but kind of because I don't want to strive to be "popular." I'm not after 'likes.' It's probably stupid, but it is... what it is.

And... that's probably all I better say at this point.
