Monday Musings

Hey guys,

First Monday Musings of the year, and I'm talking Facebook today. Facebook and I have a love/hate relationship.

I love staying connected with family and friends. I have so many in different states, so dropping Facebook isn't really an option for me. I just hate the drama that can be tied in with it. I also hate how some of my worst tendencies can come out because of Facebook. These being jealousy, comparing myself to others (Which causes me to be ungrateful and bratty. It also causes me to look at myself negatively) Which is something God didn't call me to do. Now I can't blame FB for all of it, I definitely take responsibility for my actions and know that I'm only human.

So a new goal that I didn't mention on the previous post is using Facebook less. I took a break for about a week and now I've decided to only check FB once a day if that. So far it's working really well and I already feel better. :)

***I'm also glad that I waited to make this post. It could have turned into an unnecessary rant.***

So how do you feel about Facebook? Love it or Hate it? Sound off below! :)

Facebook Hooked

Hey everyone,

I have returned to the facebook world (for those who have noticed my brief absence).

I took this break for a few reasons:

I needed time to get perspective.

I was sick of the needless drama.

I spent waaay too much time on here.


So what did I do while away?

I wrote A LOT.

I worked out.

The past two Sundays, I read my local paper, which I have not done in a very, very
long time.

It was informative and very enjoyable.

I caught up on all the things that I had neglected.

So all that to say that, I have returned...BUT I will not be on here nearly as much. There's a big beautiful world out there and I want to be more a part of that. Facebook is a great tool and when used properly, it can be a great benefit to people. When Facebook is used improperly, it can become an addiction that may seem harmless, but can actually hurt you. Facebook should not be used as a place to escape reality. Life is hard and unfair, but I would much rather spend my time learning to cope in more productive ways than staring into an emotionless box.
