Sometimes friends will repeatedly promote themselves and include links in their comments. \u00a0Sometimes I know the person talking isn&#8217;t one who walks it, so that gets old. \u00a0And sometimes I just get tired of hearing someone who takes every post as though it&#8217;s a topic for him to teach a class on or tell everything he knows. \u00a0That&#8217;s what <em>his<\/em> Facebook wall is for. \u00a0<em>Mine<\/em> is for whatever <em>I <\/em>want to be there. \u00a0For two of them, this coincides astrologically with their <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=16728\">Uranus opposition.<\/a> I&#8217;m so glad there wasn&#8217;t a Facebook when I began<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=16728\"> my Uranus opposition<\/a> and began seeing my life in a new way. \u00a0I&#8217;d have worn my fingers to the bone and been ostracized for thumping. \u00a0During my Uranus opposition,\u00a0\u00a0I discovered\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/abraham-hicks.com\" target=\"_blank\">Abraham-Hicks<\/a>,\u00a0began seeing new possibilities in my life and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\" target=\"_blank\">Horizons Magazine<\/a> was born.\u00a0 Every little insight I had, I had to tell everyone. \u00a0The unfolding was so fascinating to me, how could it not be fascinating to everyone else, too? But, in Facebook, as in life, a little goes a long way, especially when you&#8217;re preaching 101 and to the choir. \u00a0If someone sees a post I&#8217;ve made on someone else&#8217;s wall and wants to know who I am and what I think about something, they can check my profile and find my websites and search my blog for the topic. \u00a0They can send me a message or email me. \u00a0There are a lot of ways someone can learn who I am and what I have to offer without me having to write it all over friends&#8217; Facebook walls. \u00a0That&#8217;s like writing it on the side of their house. \u00a0Again, a little goes a long way. \u00a0I&#8217;m just taking a time out. \u00a0No hard feelings, no loss of love. \u00a0This, too, shall pass.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/sometimes-i-just-have-to-unfriend-a-friend-for-awhile\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Sometimes I just have to unfriend a friend for awhile&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/sometimes-i-just-have-to-unfriend-a-friend-for-awhile\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/sometimes-i-just-have-to-unfriend-a-friend-for-awhile\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/sometimes-i-just-have-to-unfriend-a-friend-for-awhile\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Sometimes%20I%20just%20have%20to%20unfriend%20a%20friend%20for%20awhile&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/sometimes-i-just-have-to-unfriend-a-friend-for-awhile\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I unfriended a few friends this week. \u00a0My Facebook posts are a combination of me telling the antics of the day and me seeking input and thoughts on a particular situation for research purposes for my work. \u00a0I get some of my best study done this way, learning what real life people today think about [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16725"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16747,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16725\/revisions\/16747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
