I have been reading news articles about it, thinking about it and I finally did it... I deactivated my Facebook account. Am I going through withdrawls? Yes. Is it weird? Yes. Will it stick? I do not know. Why did I do it?
I feel like Facebook has almost made me hypocritical and lazy. I post political opinions or articles, but get annoyed when one someone else posts an opinion opposite of what I believe. I only post pictures that make me look active, cute, happy, exciting... sometimes my life is sad or boring, but I am constantly keeping up the perseption that everything is great. If I want to know how a friend is doing I go to their Facebook page instead of sending out an email, making a phone call or even shooting off a text message (which is also pretty lazy but better than nothing).
Moving forward, you will see more pictures on the blog and possibly more opinions. I really want this decision to help me reconnect with people on a personal level, not a technogical level... but then again, isn't that what I am doing with the blog?? I think the blog will remain so I will continue to write, those that want the technological method have it and I can avoid getting sucked into Facebook drama.
To be continued...
