You can unfollow me, I won't take offense Aug29 '08
You can unfollow me. I won't take offense.
I understand I may not fit into your daily reading habits, or you simply may not know me that well. Or perhaps I just don't say anything inherently interesting. I go through peaks and phases where I'll post repetitively with little inspiration, and other times I'm full of conversational ideas.
My social network habits change, and sometimes I post more often, or talk about stupid things. I understand you may not like that. However, that only reflects my humanness.
But you're not perfect, either. So, before you leave me, consider your own habits and how others perceive you, and realize that there's no way right or wrong way to do anything. At least, that's yet to be seen with social networks, blogs, etc.
So I won't take offense if you unfollow me. You don't owe me anything. I'm thankful, and extremely fortunate, for any single person that ever read any of my pointless updates, blog posts, or any type of shared content through social networks or elsewhere. We live in a brave new world where communication boundaries have been shattered. We're free to talk to anyone, anywhere, and any time.
For those that I've friended, or inspired through content, I've lost touch with five others.
The cycle continues...
