I lost another one in the good fight. With the departure of Skip jr. I am left with only one remaining first generation Stephenville family member (and it's Dave so it doesn't even really count).
Mr. Jones came up Saturday night before his departure and the way I was carrying on you'd think I was leaving. I couldn't stop talking or reminiscing (remember the first time we hung out in St. John's? Remember that night I had to hide in your grandma's bathroom to talk to your ex? Remember. Remember. Remember).
I was sad because Mr. Jones was sad. And I was sad to lose someone I could always rely on without any sort of anything being involved. That probably doesn't make sense. Mr. Jones never made me feel anything bad like regular friends do. There was never a sense of obligation between us. We just were what we were when we could be and that was enough.
(... are you crying yet Robert, lolz?)
I'm just trying to get across that I lost someone I've shared a history with for the past SEVEN YEARS. And I am sad that it has come to an end.
I started this blog to keep in touch with my friends Meagan and Josh while I lived in Stephenville. When we all moved out here I continued it so Leah could feel in the loop of my life. When she moved out here, Holly moved backed there and so it made sense to keep at it still.
But even with Mr. Jones departure I am unsure that the Little Blog that Could may continue. It no longer feels right to post here anymore. Somewhere along the way the five or six people I gave links to multiplied into an average of fifteen to twenty different computers checking this little blog every day (yeah, I can see you). I don't think I even have that many friends!
The general lurking puts me off and the same reasons I don't have Facebook are the same reasons that posting here doesn't feel good anymore. I have debated on making it protected, deleting it all together or just changing the url. I'll probably go with the later decision of changing the url, because it is well loved by the people who take the time to comment and check like five times a day. And it is well loved by me!
I thought I would post about this now on the off chance I make a rushed decision and change things up. Here's hoping I see you on the other side! :)
