I contemplated turning my Facebook account back on today. I can officially say that I don't miss it. I accomplished what I set out to accomplish for myself which was to prove to myself that I was spending too much time on Facebook with no real value or return for my investment. I will say that I miss catching up with my friends and seeing their lives progress through photo albums. What I don't miss is the need to update everyone on what I am doing every moment. Live in the moment instead....and, then blog about it later when Trevor is in bed (or I have a spare second at work).
Why did I think about turning it back on a month early? Because, I have put Facebook in it's place in my life (which is a very low priority). I am going to stick to my March 1st date just to know that I didn't compromise or "quit" my quitting. When I do activate my account again I will enjoy being connected to loosly connected friends from my youth, people far away and photo journals of life. That will take up a few minutes of my day, once a day...and I am totally ok with that!
ps. My upcoming post is a product of my resolutions this year and is EXCITING...just wait!!
Giving Up Facebook
