Goodbye, Facebook

So, I finally did it. I deactivated my Facebook account. I was finding myself jumping between Facebook and Reddit. I had deleted both apps from my phone, but I still found myself using Facebook through the browser on my phone.

I just decided to deactivate it. I couldn’t just delete it outright though. I feel like I’ve built too much up to just get rid of it. But, I’ve got to tell you, it feels way better to know I can’t just go back to it.

I’ve found myself lacking a real people connection while using Facebook. For the past few years, I thought it was great being able to stay up to date with people. But, the terrible thing about social media is it’s so filtered and sugar coated, you don’t have a real connection with anyone. Fortunately, I don’t really use any of the other social media apps.

So, I’m not on Facebook anymore. I’ll see how it goes in the long run, but for now, it feels great.
