I Quit

. . . Facebook. I have mixed feelings about it because I connected with so many great friends, and it was so easy to touch base with everyone. Facebook is like a big house party, where individuals are able to come and go as they please. But in recent months, I just haven't felt like joining the party. I miss my sister so much, and going on Facebook constantly reminds me of her. I actually like being reminded of her, but not in the setting of Facebook. I'm not sure if it makes sense to anyone, but it didn't feel right being on Facebook anymore. I had nothing to post on my status that didn't have anything to do with her and the pain I am feeling. And my comments just wouldn't fit in. I wanted to keep most of my posts upbeat because Facebook didn't seem like the place to bring everyone down. I did announce my sister's death on Facebook as a way to notify friends that I keep in touch with primarily through Facebook. But I just didn't want to bring everyone else down. It didn't sit well with me reading people post complaints about head colds or talking about how busy they are or insulting other people. I actually had one, "friend" post about how proud he was that he displayed some road rage at a woman in an SUV who had, "cut him off." Really? Is that what Facebook is for? I guess for some people, it is. So it's time for me to leave the party.
