I am writing this one last online post, and then from now on I will either be posting privately or not online at all.  I've been so busy these past few months, with so much drama interspersed, that it's not even worth writing about.  I will probably continue to keep a personal journal, but it's just not worth the trouble of keeping one online.

I've found out over the past few months of non-posting that most of my friends haven't read anything I've written in a long time anyways, and right before I stopped posting I had at least one person who has no business concerning themselves with my personal life checking my page on an almost daily basis trying to find something about me that they could twist into ammunition against me in some way.  My thoughts and feelings were never meant to be used against me, but that is what this journal has become - a ground for anyone who wants to to find the material to make up stories and exaggerate truth to get what they want somehow, and I'm just tired of it all.

A lot of the things I used to write about no longer exist anymore anyways.  Half the friends I used to have issues with no longer hold serious roles in my life, and there are even some who I have cut all contact with for one reason or another.  I have a better relationship with my mother than I've ever had, and I'm enjoying it immensely.  School is tough, but I have a great friend to lean on when things get rough.  I'm getting closer and closer to some of my other family members, and re-bonding with friends I thought no longer cared.  Life is by no means easy right now, but at least there are a few special people to help me through the especially difficult times.  Good-bye all.
