Well, I did it! I deleted my facebook! Why? Because it's Thursday! Every Thursday Bob Goff quits something. It can be something small or something big, but whatever he quits it's because it'll improve his life. So the past few Thursdays I have quit drinking soda, quit eating candy, and quit waking up after 10. But those are all minor things, that surprisingly weren't very difficult to give up. So, today I chose to quit Facebook. Over the past few weeks I've started realizing that I hardly know most of my facebook friends. Don't get me wrong, I knew them at one point or another, but now they've faded to the back of my life. And while facebook is meant to connect you with your friends from around the country and from back in the day, I find myself not using it to connect with those people. So why have facebook then? So that I can enjoy the endless posts about drama? No thanks! So I can take fun buzzfeed quizes? Nah. So I can get twelve million game requests? Nope. I have slowly stopped using Facebook to communicate with people, instead I used it mainly to post pictures. But while some people may actually like seeing my pictures, to many they see the pictures and will think they know what is going on in my life and so they don't need to actually talk to me. I want my friends to talk to me and to ask me how my life is, just like I want to ask them! So, from now I will make an effort to call, text, write letters to, and skype the people in my life who I want to stay in touch with. However, while I'm giving up facebook, I'm not giving up all social media! I am keeping my Instagram (Skybug1995) and Twitter(@SkylerRose422)! For now anyways!
