Then I found out a friend of mine had deleted her account and I really did think about it - at least a bit. Was I afraid of something? Was I afraid I'd miss something? I'm not quite sure what the resistance was but I decided that I could at least try living without Facebook. Perhaps the fact that it required such thought meant it was time to step away anyhow? So after a few days of deciding I would deactivate my account (and not doing it) I began deleting pictures and content from my account. For some reason I needed to make it into a project, but bottom line, I did it. Now who knows whether anything was actually deleted or deactivated but I got my time back. And the weird thing is...I don't care. I haven't really had to get used to it or make any transition I just don't use Facebook any more. So - Yay for Mommy!

A Little Freedom
Facebook Freedom. I had thought (very passively) from time to time about getting off of Facebook. I knew I was spending wasting too much time scrolling through my feed and more over I was too often left feeling bad in one way or another after going there. Either because of the content or just the fact that I had once again distracted myself and misused time that would be better spent elsewhere. It was becoming one of those things where I knew I could and should do better but it was easier not to. I never really allowed myself to think about it though.
