It's not you, it's me.

This isn’t easy for me, you know. The beginning held so much promise, but I think it’s time we took a break.

You learned about my favorite books, music, and movies. You wanted to know where I lived, where I went to school, and whom I hung out with. Don’t get me wrong. That was great.

You made an attempt to introduce me to new things I might be interested in. Sure, you probably had some underlying motive there, but at least you cared enough to make some sort of attempt. I don’t resent your advances.

I cannot say you were ever unavailable for long periods of time. In fact, ever since the purchase of my latest phone you’ve been even more available. Anywhere, anytime. That certainly wasn’t the problem.

You even encouraged me to get together with my friends by passing along invites and message. What more could I ask for?

I know it’s normal that the excitement of new relationships can wane. You were so kind to invite others into our relationship in the hopes that it would be stronger. There were some particularly imaginative applications of that development.

You really want to know the truth? Really? Truly? It’s just that… well… I just can’t live with you.

You were so simplistic, shiny, and dare I say it, petite. Everything in its place. Beautiful, really. Now, you’re complicated, dull, and I’m sorry it’s come to this, bloated. Cluttered, even.

My friends do not need to know I no longer consider Madonna my favorite artist or just rented Sleepless in Seattle from Blockbuster. Stop being such a gossip.

Why is it that I feel guilty for “neglecting” you each time I get together with my friends away from you? I don’t want to upload my photos for you to enjoy.

I have no intention of making $1,000 today, no matter how easy that might be. Just shut up!

So it’s over, Facebook. We had a good run but it’s just not going to work. Please, don’t call me. It’s too painful.

I just need my space.
