I deleted my Facebook accounts to start fresh.

Start fresh with what? This makes it sound like you have like fifteen warrants for your arrest, moved to Mexico, and live everyday in fear of being found out. Of course, deleting your facebook and starting anew that way no one can ever know your secret.

Wow, I think too much.
 
I've been maintaining the same Facebook account as my main and default one the entire time I've had it since early 2009, and I have considered deleting it in the past, too. But currently I have two facebook accounts and one I really don't use anymore.

That sounds like a good idea, it really does :O But what about all those people that you used to know?

This is going to probably sound really mopey and attention seeking of me, but honestly, the overwhelming majority of the people I was friends with on Facebook are people I knew of in high school. People I've probably had very little conversation with outside of group projects where I was forced to speak to them, and people I probably wouldn't become friends with if I put the energy into becoming friends with them. I don't really have any interest in them, and they don't have any interest in me. But I can always add them (or they can always add me) on my new one. Its not like I changed my name or anything like that.
 
It sounds scary though. Like, I feel like I'd be throwing so much behind me - yet they've been left behind in practice anyways. I don't have much incentive to start afresh anyways :S You're right though, interests change. It's weird, I made eye contact with this girl I knew back in sixth grade and I didn't know what to do. She was sitting with a friend of hers, so I didn't do anything. But how do you say hi? Do you pick up from where you left off or is this a new beginning? Do we even remember where we left off?
 
That's kind of a strange thing to be feeling at the expense of keeping a profile on a website.
 
I get that logic, but I sort of like holding on to memories, regardless of how small they might be. Might sound silly, but yeah.

putting this in quotes for you nick since it started a new page

I think I'm too sentimental of things to let go easily. I make .. allegiances easily, like I'd honestly feel kinda bad to "delete" them :| like I'm letting them, or me, or the idea that we had once talked face to face over a period of time or something down...
 
Honestly, I wouldn't mind starting over at all on Facebook, considering I don't really have a whole lot of memories on my Facebook page, but I also dislike the hassle of doing things such as creating a new account and leaving your old account behind. I did that at a forum once in 2009, and within 3 months I wound up back on my original account there.
 
I don't know. You're speaking to someone (me) who would drop literally everything and leave everything behind at the opportunity to start a life new somewhere else. To me, deleting a Facebook or a PokéCommunity account or two doesn't really mean much. I still have the memories I made while using those accounts. Those aren't going anywhere, and deleting them doesn't mean I'm dishonoring the memories either.
 
Like mementos?

I have bad memories (ha!) with those. Brainwashed and nasty shizz, so the idea of having something to look at's been, well, discredited. I've got a pretty vivid imagination though, so I'm cool with it all being in my head. That's why I don't really do pictures. It goes click-snap into my memories.
 
Meh, arguable. D: I'm a person who likes to look into the past, but I've learned not to stare. The past is just that, the past. Look and learn, but don't relive (unless it's worth reliving)
 
I hope for the future (to be better than the present), worry about the present, and long for the past.
 
Yeah, I have to agree with that >< Clinging is bad. I think longing for the past means that you aren't satisfied with the present.
