since i have deleted my account (yes folks it IS possible) i have found life is more fulfilling, days have grown more hours. i never noticed how much time i wasted, really not doing much of anything. patrolling my newsfeed looking for something of interest and never finding what i was looking for. strangely i have experienced some withdrawal…the sudden feeling of racing over to the book of faces to post my random thought that nobody truly cares to know except for myself. i have stayed strong in my stance and am glad for it…largely because i had this insecurity with myself that i never had before. i feel it comes from knowing the eyes of the world are on you, and your privacy isn’t really private. facebook has changed the game when it comes to social networking but it has also changed how people view themselves and the world. yes it has allowed “us” to be more connected but what about young people who feel like those 3000+ people on their pages are really their friends. or those young girls who feel as though the overt sexual attention they receive from posting overly sexual pictures is the kind of attention they want in life. facebook feeds into this celebrity fantasy that has steadily grown in this nation. that material wealth and finite things are real measures of success and make you somebody. what people view as being real has been lost behind a shade of insecurity and materialistic dreams that i feel it’s only going to get worse…
