I think Facebook is a great thing. I love that I have been able to keep in touch with friends from college, high school, softball, church... you name it, you can find almost anyone.
But there are times when all I want to do is throw my computer out the window & send the great wide world of Facebook with it. There are just certain things I shouldn't look at. Certain people I shouldn't be friends with. Pictures I don't need to see. Statuses/Posts/Messages that I don't need to care about. And they're right there. Screaming in my face. And I don't have the willpower to stop and walk away.
I don't like seeing things and feeling like crap. I don't like to have my heartstrings tugged on. There's a whole mess of emotions that come with looking at certain things. Emotions that I don't want to feel. I've moved on from them. I don't want to wonder about what ifs. I don't want to care about someone's wellbeing who probably doesn't give two cents about me. I don't want to care about things that happened years ago. I don't want to miss things I couldn't be a part of. I've done a pretty good job of burying those things, and I hate when they're brought up again (yeah, okay, that sounds unhealthy, but anyway).
This is probably quite cryptic, and I don't want to go into a lot of details. As with anything, FB has it's pros and cons. And I was feeling quite emotional this morning and wanted to get it all out.
On a different note, TGIF!!! And GO TIGERS! Win us that ACC title!

I know what you mean! Some people put stuff on FB and I'm like "Does this really need to be shared with the world?"
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean! blah!
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean! I got mad and deleted a whole ton of people off of Facebook one day, and now I feel much better about it! People might think I'm bitchy, but whatever...now I only have to look at the people I actually care about! :)
