I Unfriended Facebook, at least for right now

Dear Facebook, It’s not you, no really, it’s me.  I just need a break.

Dear Facebook, one last thing before I go, can I fire everyone in my life and start over?

That was the end of my day yesterday.  I had had enough of people in my life.  I was tired of the petty crap that had swirling around me, making me a part of it.

I drove home alternating between tears and anger.  By the time I got to the house I had made up my mind that I was just going to step away from Facebook for a week.

After picking up the girls and headed to the grocery store to pick up stuff for dinner, I looked at them in the rear view mirror and asked them, “Do you ever have days when you just wish you could fire everyone in your life, and rehire only the ones you like?”

Last night, I stopped all text notifications from Facebook and I haven’t been to my page at all today.  There was a relief in not having my phone ding at me, and feel the need to answer it only to find out it was Facebook.

It’s not that I don’t love my friends and family on Facebook, I just needed a break.  I was so angry at everyone all the time, for  no real reason, and so, since I can fire everyone in my life, I can at least take a step back from 300 of them.

Before stepping away from Facebook, I cleared out my friend list.  I unfriended and blocked a whole lot of  people.  I do not feel bad about that decision at all. They, if they so desire, can still find my blog, but I won’t be found on Facebook. At least not for a while.
