a long time..

It's been a while since I have blogged anything. I think I have a new found freedom because tonight I had a strong impression to delete my facebook account. I know it seems strange since everyone just about has one, but I really think it's the right choice. I have had a few negative experiences relating to facebook dealing with comparing myself to others and wasting time learning about people that are not significant in my life. Although it is just a website, I feel it has a tendency to bring people into a realm of security that can gradually pull you down without your recognition. Everything has become too easy. Families don't call eachother as much. We all assume it's just as personal to update our status for 500 friends. When my dad had eye surgery, I found out through my step mom's posted status a week after it had occurred. I'm glad I found out, but..just another example. I think we should all consider how much time we spend on these sites and who it is benefitting. --Mindy
