Talks about how, in our modern age of super-interconnectedness (via facebook, primarily), it is near impossible to completely sever ties with someone with whom you were once intimate. It becomes that much easier to check in on that person, to "stalk" them - even if you would rather not - and to remain in a sort of purgatory that keeps a hold of that certain part of your emotional make-up.
It's hard enough to navigate social relations as it is. Boundaries become ever-blurred by this process of living in "public," as it were. How does one know what is appropriate, what is too much to ask of others, what is too much to divulge? As a rather open person, it is a constant struggle for me, personally, to know how best to censor myself for the sake of others, versus my desire to express my thoughts in order to hear them out loud, to receive feedback, etc.
