Jan. 1st, 2005 02:29 amI came close to deleting a few people from my friends list today.
Most were out of spite, others out of a sort of judgemental indifference. If you're reading this entry, you were probably safe. I doubt the people I would have deleted read my LJ.
I just couldn't bring myself to do it though. If I had deleted them, I would have deleted them from my memories. I mean that literally. I know how my memory works, and if I had deleted them from my friends list, I wouldn't have been reminded of them any more, and unless they were somehow linked with something more memorable, I would have forgotten them. They would be dead to me; I'd forget I'd ever had them on my friends list.
Memories are too precious to delete, even memories of people I dislike.
