Well here is an example! I don't know how many times I typed here or wished that I 'had a life' to coin a current phrase. I spent most of my time online one way and another and whilst I enjoyed it I wanted more, a life outside of this virtual world. Don't get me wrong, I have always thought of my virtual friends as my real friends, I don't differentiate, whilst there are those that will always say this is not 'real', I have always and still do think otherwise and have met some very great friends 'for real' who I originally knew from this online world.
However, I digress. My point is this; I have a life now, one outside of the virtual one. I have 'N', I have my job and I have the ongoing big issue to deal with that I keep mentioning vaguely here but can't blog the details of (I will someday when I can work out how). The latter is not a positive but it takes up much of my time and even more of my energy but one way and another, I now have a life, as they say.
But I miss my virtual life!
I have so little time for blogging now, I manage most days to post something half hearted on Facebook but I rarely make it to my other favourite haunt of days gone by, Twitter and trying to keep up with emails is a constant battle.
Life never seems to hit a happy medium, it's all or nothing it would appear and I really would like to have a little more opportunity for this stuff but by the time I sit down in front of my lappy most days all I want to do is sleep and stringing a few sentences together is way beyond me.....but I do keep trying.
See...never satisfied!

nice to see you here today
Real life should take precedence over virtual life. If you keep blogging all the time, you will grow a third arm to accommodate the mouse. Although that may be handy for some things, it could make finding a significant other a little more difficult.
I've blogged much less since starting a new job. Not sure I want to reveal certain details about myself so freely. I hope this changes and I resume writing because I think it's extremely healthy. I've had similar experience to you in terms of virtual friends, some of them I have been friends with now longer than some of the "real" friends I thought I'd always know years ago.
