I noticed my skype contact list had gotten pretty out of hand, so I trimmed it down quite a bit. This is to let anyone know that if they were taken off, it wasn't a personal thing. In fact, a lot of those decisions were kind of agonizing. The criteria was simple, with a couple of exceptions; If we hadn't had a conversation since January 1, 2015, I removed that contact. That's it, that was all there was to it.

If you want to be added again, all you have to do is ask!

Like I said, it wasn't personal or anything, if I removed you it doesn't mean I hate you, dislike you, or anything of the sort. It just means we haven't talked much and my contact list was approaching 200 people, which is... well, unreasonable.

Edit:
I couldn't just leave it there. That was an absolutely heart-wrenching thing to do. So many people have touched my life in a profound way. People who helped me discover parts of who I am that I didn't even know were there, encouraged me in bad times, and celebrated the good. It puts it in perspective, just how... how small I am without other people. I mean, what good is having life if you don't share your joy, pain, weakness and strength with others? To everyone who's still with me, as well as those I've left behind: I love you. I would never have made it this far without you, and I'll always be grateful for that.
