What Leaving FB Behind Taught Me

So for two months, I left FB behind – I thought “how will I ever survive”, but the good news was, I did. Not only did I survive leaving FB behind – I didn’t miss it too terribly much once it was gone. After the first week or so, I didn’t seem to care anymore. I did care that I was missing some pieces of the people I love. I came up with a new plan of action. I no longer had a deactivated FB account, I completely deleted it! Wahoo! With all the changes with the Timeline, it is no longer feasible to delete a person here or there who pollutes your FB with negativity/rants, treats you poorly or just plain has no good reason to be on your page in the first place, with all that said – “DELETE”. I came up with a new strategy – if it’s not for good, then it must go away! And in one click and 14 days later – my original account with a ridiculous amount of friends was forever scraped from Facebook. Yippie!

20 Days and Counting…

Today has officially been 20 days since I deactivated my personal FB account and honestly I feel more free and more productive than I have been in years. I do feel a little out of touch with what my friends are doing, but there is this amazing thing – a phone –  I text, email or call to see what’s going on with them, I get outside and talk to them – I know fascinating discovery, but yes, it is there. What would you do with a social media hiatus of sorts – know thankfully I still have Twitter and all the other networks I use, but I can say that fleeing FB has been freeing… Anyone care to join me?
