Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie

While Facebook can be a wonderous thing, it can also be a bit overwhelming.  Case in point, I got a friend request from someone I've known since I was 12 years old.  Before ultimately ignoring her request, I spent some seriously introspective hours contemplating what it would be like to include this person in my life again.  Ultimately, the answer was no, life is short, bullshit is deep and I enjoy being happy.  This person doesn't make me happy -- she/he makes me sad/upset/concerned.

I could go into all the reasons why I ignored the friend request, but really, truly, those reasons are far more personal and gut-wrenching than I care to think about.  Not having them in my life is not a hardship for me, in fact it is peaceful. 

So I'm letting that sleeping dog lie.  I am glad to just have let it all go -- much like the shredding of this past week.
