Guest blogger Jenn Themelis brings insight to Miley Cyrus’ decision to stop tweeting.

This week, prolific Tweeter Miley Cyrus deleted her very popular Twitter account.

I know. I was sad, too.

Why, why would she do such a thing? Well, Miley’s been feeling overexposed, so she decided she needed to make her personal time personal. And what better way to lessen the glare of the spotlight than to make formal proclamations about how you will no longer be detailing the minutia of your life in neat 140 character slices?

You see, Miley wasn’t living in the now, savoring those moments of quality time with friends and family, because she felt overwhelmingly compelled to tweet about it. We’ve all been there.

But this hobby turned dark, as it seems that Twitter puts you into contact with a lot of negativity, as she said in her multi-paragraph essay addressing her twit quit on her official website. Miley really just wants her “me time” to be hers again! She just wants to have some sort of ‘normal’ life. She stopped living for moments, and started living for people, as she said in her YouTube rap “Goodbye Twitter.”

That’s right, it’s time for Miley to put Miley first!

Which inspired me to put myself first in the same fashion, so here goes: Hey world! I’m not living for you anymore! I’m doing my own thing, singing my own song (which at the moment in “Party in the USA“, so fuck off! Don’t judge me.)

But, I won’t be a twitter quitter, because it would just be too embarrassing when I’d inevitably go back. I’m not as strong as you, Miley. I NEED to see every time Diddy tweets, “LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!”

Cuz it’s like, damn, he must mean it if he’s taking up that many characters with extras “o’s” and exclamation points.

I absolutely must update the world when a pigeon brushes my head with it’s disgusting wing. It’s kind of like keeping a weird journal you’re not that embarrassed about people seeing.

I’d like to think I’ll be able to look back on my tweets in my golden years and remember, “hey, yeah, I did go to Pinkberry that one time, and it was awesome.”
