I recently decided that I was going to delete my Facebook page. It is sad to me how "big" of a decision something like that actually is. In our world today facebook has a way of becoming our identity if we let it. It is our way of keeping in touch with the world....our family and our friends (funny thing is your not REALLY keeping in touch with anyone most of the time).....remember when we used to have address books and we had every one's address and HOME phone number...and if we wanted to "keep up with them" or see how they were we actually picked up the phone and called...or went to their house to see them....I find it almost humorous that I have 200 something "friends" on facebook and maybe two of them actually know where I live. Facebook is a friend facade if you ask me and I have just been led in the last few months to steer away from my virtual life and start attempting to actually and presently live the one in front of me. So today I pulled the Facebook plug and filled out the little box that says "Delete My Account" and checked yes to the box that says "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT".....and as I venture into this journey sans the virtual world I would hope not to lose touch with friends, but simply to become closer the the ones that I have. So here is to a facebook free existence :-)
