The thing about social networking sites like Facebook is they feed to the child inside of us. The one that fell in love with Disney movies that wishes they could live in a little fantasy world. Facebook allows us to be connected to even those who we could never really be connected with in real life. It lets us play out our fantasies of knowing people we probably shouldn't know. We can look at their pictures when we probably shouldn't hold our breath. It lets us stalk people that it didn't work out with, or those who will never be our friends in real life.
It's really rather sad when you think about it, but I've decided I needed to go old school for a while. When you want to get over someone the last thing you need is their status updates and music video posts littering your news feed. You need to put everything about them in a metaphorical box and shove it in your metaphorical closet, and move on.
So, for a while at least, I'm logging off. Maybe I'll be back after the holidays, or, maybe I'll like being away from Facebook so much that I'll never turn back. Whichever is welcome.
I do still think it's important to blog though. It's a helpful tool when it comes to organizing your thoughts.
