You're not that important to me....I guess...

So I recently signed in to my Facebook and Myspace and ventured into my inbox. I decided to go through and delete a lot of messages that were just cluttering up in there and get it a little more organized. 

Upon doing this, I realized that there were a lot of conversations with people or messages where people wrote me long, elaborate emails....and I said nothing back. Especially in my Facebook.  A lot of messages from people who haven't seen me since high school wanting to know what I have been up to and reconnect. And yet I said nothing. Most of the time the mindset when reading these messages is "I'll get to it later when I can sit down and write back". But I never make the time and when I clean out my inbox, I'm looking at those 8 month old messages where a person was never replied to. I guess I come off as sort of an asshole huh? Maybe I should create more time to re-building those friendships with those people. Or was the drifting apart for a good reason? I am not sure.

Am I the only one who does this? Because it seems that it happens often with my mailbox. I seriously will come across a minimum of 20 messages. Some were even ones that I replied to, was having a conversation with, and then just left them hanging. I didn't ever continue the conversation. I guess I need to look for the cause. Was I just bored with it? Was I just replying to be nice. Or did I just get busy or have something come up that it got put off and forgotten?  The answer we may never know. But within the next week I will put a little more effort in responding to them. 

Or....so I say....
