I never finished my post about leaving Facebook... so here it is... Too bad I've already made it back.
So, I got rid of Facebook for about 3 months. My reasons were simple: one, my boss asked us to get rid of our facebooks (for professional purposes... I was the only one that did it) two, there were a lot of people who I didn't want on my Facebook anymore... and I honestly felt like the best way to get rid of them was to just delete the whole thing and hide myself better if I came back.
Well, it was great and it lasted about three months. It also made all my office mates spend a week considering deleting it as well... I don't know why?
I really loved not having it... I dont know why? It was nice being THAT disconnected and not having to read depressing posts and statuses. But as the months wore on.. and grad school weared me down.. I slowly felt more and more isolated and lonely without it - especially on the weekends.
So, I went back and created a new profile (I was gone long enough that my old one was permanently deleted). And so far, it's been good. I have 80 friends, all of which have been carefully screened (I wish.). Facebook is great, but I sincerely hope, that when I'm in a better place (esp. mentally) I hope I can go back off the facebooks. But who knows... maybe I'll keep it... I do love stirring up trouble.
