HA
Well, that was short lived. I have decided that instead of just taking the easy route and deleting it, I will practice self control and time management. Wish me luck.

Wasting Time
Well, I deleted my facebook. I have kind of thought about it for awhile, but never really took action. I enjoy facebook. I like seeing what people are up to, looking at pictures from people's adventures, and seeing crafty/fun things they do. But, when it comes down to it, it becomes a huge waste of time. So, for now, I am letting it go for a few reasons.
1. I spend WAY too much time on there. It becomes a time filler. Anytime I am waiting on something, sitting in a car, bored, or whatever I jump right on the website. Especially because I have it on my phone.
2. I begin to talk about all the things I read/see on there. Sometimes good, sometimes not. It becomes petty.
3. It has replaced my friendships. Instead of making the effort to call/text a friend or family member, I just check their facebook. That usually lets me know what they are up to and what I have missed in their life. This is not ok. I should be contacting people and being a part of their lives and not just seeing what they are up to on a social network. In that case, their worst enemy could know as much as their best friend. And visa-versa, I would rather people contact me than just check my facebook.
4. It is not always good for my soul. For example, I go on today before I went off to baby-sit and the VERY first thing I saw upset me. I was frustrated and almost hurt in a way and I chose to let it bother me all day. I know that is partly in my hands because I choose how I react. But until I can get to the point where things I see on there are not frustrating me, then I will choose to handle it this way by just taking it out of my life.
So, in the attempt of taking something out of my life, I intend to replace it with something better for me. Like God. I think that is a good idea. Anyway, we will see how it goes. I also plan to blog more because I think it is better for me.
Until next time :)
