Craving

I've got a second of down time and I am searching for Facebook. Instead I've done my time sheets. How depressing!

So why did I quit? Well I'm obviously addicted. Facebook has become a social tick for me. But there's a deeper reason, I was really starting to feel unhappy and it took me a while to figure it out. Somehow seeing peoples posts and likes and pics was starting to really influence the way I felt and the decisions I was making. On the low end, when I would see that someone would post a clothing sale, well I'd have to check it out immediately. But on the high end, when someone would share pics of their new baby, I would want a baby. And whether we want a new baby or not, I'm not going to let Facebook make that decision for me.

I know we are all heavily influenced by our social circle. It's no surprise that 6 of my friends had children all in the same year. But with Facebook I was starting to feel like a follower for all the wrong reasons. That's not me. I want to be happy and live in my here and now and Facebook was holding me hostage from that.

So do I feel better? It's only day 2.
