experiment : ditching the facebook

experiment : ditching the facebook 

why?
i started think about how i actually use facebook
i check it to see what silly things my friends posted
look at the invites i had for events
once in a blue moon hit up a friend i met randomly along the path of life
look at my birthday wishes from friends
but essentially it was just wasting time
a
waste
of
time
not only was it the time spent physically on facebook
it was the facebook aftermath that bothers me the most
i started thinking my life was boring
"wish i could be over there"
"does she like him?"
"babies and marriages"
"other people being depressed with their lives"
"break ups and infidelity"
"horrible sad things in the world i should take a stance on but know nothing about"
"i wish i could travel more, surf more, something else more than what i AM doing"

so...
i deactivated it.
which is not any easy thing to find because facebook wants everyone on there
i decided to stop using much loved spotify because its solely linked to facebook
its my mini protest i suppose

result
this is still an ongoing experiment
its been a couple weeks already
but i love it
i don't care
i notice my twitches to go on there
then i just go do something else
a few people noticed but they know how to get in contact with me
in more meaningful ways
and that's cool

now what?
no more facebook.
that's it.
and i started doing things that are more meaningful to me
like this little blog :)
