Some people have been asking if I deleted Facebook. Well yes I did! :) I've been contemplating the idea for a while. Truth is, most people on there that I had to "keep updated" on our boys can very easily pick the phone up and shoot us a text or a quick call. They just don't care enough to do so.
Seriously, whatever happened to physical human interaction? How about the effort into keeping relationships alive? I'm not saying social networks or technology are the devil...I love both. However, they deprive us of the things life is all about.
We fail to enjoy our surroundings for what they really are. I was very HUGE on Facebooking...it died down once I became a mom of two. I didn't necessarily post everyday (not counting the handful of pictures onto Instagram.) I only kept it for entertainment. Let's be honest, some people on there just take it wayyy too far!
Anyway, my time spent on Facebook took away from the things that needed my attention most: my home and family. It's been a few days now since I got rid of it and I couldn't be happier. I don't miss it, and who would when my iPhone battery now lasts 12+hrs? No more charging 2-3 times in a day! ;)
I never thought I'd delete Facebook, but a good conversation with my honey got me to realize that in order to focus on me and the things I wanted...Facebook had to be gone for good. Mom always said, "Everything in moderation is a good thing. If something is not doing you any good, get rid of it." I believe even the Bible says something along the lines that if your right hand is making you fall, cut it.
Truth is, with all the negativity posted on there, all the mommy fights, the judging, the amount of people who instead of appreciating their lives would complain...it served me no good purpose. I also wanted to lead a more reserved life. I didn't want people knowing my very move, but I was already so used to just posting.
Deleting for good was the best choice. More changes are coming soon and I couldn't be more excited!
