No status

Now that I have Facebook, my life seems to revolve around my status. The ability to be able to say in 420 characters or less how I'm feeling. Sometimes it just doesn't seem enough. Facebook gives the option of writing it as a note instead, if it exceeds the 420 characters. But who wants to write a note about how they are feeling?

And sometimes, like tonight, my status remains empty. 420 characters is way too much for what I want to say. I don't want to say anything. Nothing of significance comes to mind.

And so I sit and stare at the screen, and I contemplate writing a 'fluff' status. But really, why write empty words? So I don't write anything.

And it is hard to describe what I am feeling, and I also don't know if you will understand. But tonight, my status remains blank.

Not because I have nothing to say. But because my insides are mute, my brain remains frozen, and I don't want to think tonight.

Tonight, I want to forget.

  1. This is weird! I just reactivated my Facebook account today! I also just resubscribed to your blog tonight after a much-needed break from the blogging world. Funny! Sadly, I'm already feeling the way you are concerning statuses. Rarely can I say what I'm feeling in so few characters (that's why I have a blog lol) and when I can, it's silly and of no value. Aside from pieces of news, for a long time I kept my status blank.

    I also understand the desire to forget. All too often I find myself in that position. Forget things I've done, people that I got involved with, etc. Words of advice from someone who I don't know, such as our acquaintanceship, I usually find to be unhelpful. All I can offer is encouragement and express my sincere hope that the funk you find yourself in ends soon.
