decompressing

hasnt even been a full day since my declaration of freedom from facebook; definitely feeling the burn. i deleted the facebook app off my phone so the constant chiming of messages wouldnt drive me insane...or drive me to log on. i feel like i have come so far from real interactions with people. facebook is an easy means of communication but in ways its a cop out. no real work is required to foster or maintain a relationship. the news feed keeps you abreast of what everyone is doing or isnt doing. im hoping this facebook sabbatical will bring me closer to real friends as well as giving me more time with my family. im hoping this choice will be a gift to myself.
