Long time no post

Hello,

I haven’t been on tumblr in what feels like months because I’m summer cleaning, and I’d like to share this wonderful self-discovery with anyone willing to read this.

This year, I’ve realized that my desk and my house are not the messiest parts of my life. In order to become a better person, I’ve decided to “redesign” my current lifestyle. 

For the past couple months I’ve been Facebook cleansing and Twitter cleansing! Deleting the forgotten followers, the people who aren’t really my friends and would probably never talk to me in real life, and those random people from Singapore who added me for no reason. I’ve been unfollowing stars and actors I’ve lost interest in on Twitter and replacing them with design blogs and threads that show and teach me new things. It’s a little disappointing but also refreshing to say that over the past 5 months, I’ve been slowly whittling down my facebook friends from around 800 to about 400! And I’m still going! It’s a little sad, but it’s also very satisfying knowing that I’m getting rid of useless information. 

I no longer feel the need to see what’s going on in the lives of people that would probably never acknowledge me in reality. I want to stop comparing myself to others. I don’t want to feel the frustration of swimming through pointless status updates and whining to find the posts I actually care about. I used to think the more people I’m friends with, the more news I’ll see! Not exactly. Anyways, I’m finally letting go of the fact that I don’t need to check up on some girl who sat behind me and only talked to me once in my high school senior eco class!

Instead I’d like to change my internet distractions into educational outlets. I want to learn about cool projects and see what’s new out there in the world. I want to check up on friends who are still close to me without worrying about people who see me as part of their friend collection. I’m hoping that it’ll help me focus on the subjects and people that I truly care about. 

So I offer this advice to anyone who feels a bit disorganized or distracted right now: engage in summer cleaning!
