My Break from Facebook

Taking a break from something is always a good thing. The word break, defined at dictionary.com, is to become detached, separated or disassociated, and by taking a break we are able to relax, reflect and rejuvenate.
Over the last six months, maybe even longer, I was slowly becoming more and more disenchanted with facebook. I won't go into details except to say that I found that it was becoming something that I didn't like nor did I want a part of my life. So, my solution was to take a break. To become detached from the land of social media.
It helped that I took said break right around Christmas time, so I was busy with traveling, visiting family and nursing Declan and I back to health after getting colds, and therefore was not aware of what I could possibly be missing out on.
It felt good to be away from facebook for a while. I had more time in my day and was not feeling the things I had been feeling prior to the break. When I did eventually return, I deleted approximately 200 "friends" and hid several others. I decided to delete people that were not family, and that I didn't feel I had a lasting, close, personal relationship with. If I wouldn't know them and start up a conversation with them if I ran into them in the grocery store, they got deleted. It was so refreshing, and now it is a place that I enjoy visiting, no longer getting annoyed by what I read/see on there.

I encourage you to take a break from something that may not feel is right in your life. Separate yourself from whatever it is, for however long of a time you see fit, and take that time to reflect. You will learn a lot!
