AFB+1 (After Facebook Day One)
Well, technically it hasn't even been a whole day yet because I deactivated my account at around 5pm, so I'm only in my fourth hour without my primary social media connection. No big deal yet... yet. Some people said some nice things on FB about how they would miss me - nice sentiments but it didn't help my resolve.
This evening I got an email from an old Navy friend that told me he did a similar thing a couple of months ago. He checks his FB once a week (that's how he saw my post). It was encouraging to hear him say that he's very happy with the decision and doesn't miss the hate and discontent. I had weeded most of that out of my content on FB, but you can't avoid it altogether. I definitely won't miss that.
I guess Instagram is the methadone to my FB addiction. It will help with the withdrawal symptoms that are surely waiting just around the corner. One day at a time...
