December 15 - 25 Days of Christmas Bloggin Challenge

It's a slow blog day, so I thought I'd give you an "status" update.

If you recall, over a year ago I declared that I was kicking the Facebook habit for good for a number of reasons.  Well, I'm here to tell you, that it's been 14 months since I've deactivated my Facebook account and I have no regrets!  So, without further ado...





Here are my 10 take-away's from my year+ without Facebook:

• I don't begin sentences with "I saw on Facebook that..."
• My face is not buried in my phone checking to see if anyone validated my status update.
• I don't get an obscene amount of emails from Facebook.
• I don't get friend requests from people I barely know.
• I no longer have to endure Fakebook and "Me, Me, Me!!!" status updates of people I barely know.
• I'm no longer bombarded with other people's political beliefs because let's face it... you aren't going to change a person's beliefs by anything you post on Facebook.
• I no longer have to "hide" people that are offensive.
• I no longer make up status updates in my head about Every. Single. Event. In. My. Life.
• I know who my REAL friends are.
• My brain no longer has to absorb other people's noise.

 So, there ya have it.  And that's what I love about (not being on) Facebook.
