| Are my Xanga Days over?
I’ve devoted nearly four years to this online journal service, seen many changes, met wonderful people, and watched myself develop into an intelligent, competent, well-versed individual capable of holding her head up high, for the first time ever. As I delve more deeply into the “real world”, I find that I no longer have time or patience for the trifles that once overwhelmed me. Although there are days of severe depression and anxiety, I always manage to pull through. Interesting things happen to me, and I’m satisfied with the fact that they just happen - I don’t need to report about my wild pirating adventures and wine that tastes like whiskey. It’s just a mode of communication that I have come to cherish and value. Growing older means growing out of certain things, and I find myself looking towards a daily Xanga entry as a chore, rather than a fun time. It cuts into other activities that I would much rather be engaged in, and prevents me from writing as honestly and fully as I would like in my own personal journal. There are things I will never forget about my days on Xanga, and many people I hope to keep in contact with. However, I feel that it is important to the progression of my development that I take what my time here has given me and be grateful for the experience. Not only this, but I feel it is time to end what I’ve been hanging onto for so long. The need for people to be there and respond to me has been satisfied in many dimensions, and I also have come to the realization that life can be so much more fulfilling if it is used for its true intention: Living.
I would also like to keep in contact with anyone who is interested in exchanging periodical hand-written letters. My college address is:

Thanks for four great years everyone, and rest assured I’ll be checking in,
Always,
Kate. |
