Like most people I have a facebook account. It’s been nice to catch up with old friends and people I’ve not spoken to in years upon years. However I’ve decided to give facebook a break. I guess I need my life back to myself and not need to see what other people are doing. Its a kind of voyeurism that isn’t what I need right now. There’s been a lot going on recently and while I try to keep some things private they have a way of becoming public even if not overtly. I need to look inward and not judge myself by what other people may or may not say about me or my status or if someone else refers to me in their status and then the comments they leave there. I also found I would compare myself sometimes to what other people were doing or saying about themselves.. it wasn’t intentional but we all do this to some degree its just on facebook its more in your face. I’m not sure how long it will last.. maybe one day.. a week.. month or more.. but I think in order to work on what’s inside its best to stop needing validation from the outside as it can skew perception and give a false reality.
I hope I haven’t offended anyone.. it wasn’t my intention. This is just what I need to do for me.

I agree. I have been thinking the same thing. I feel I am slowly losing my own life because I keep on looking at Facebook and living it through other people. I completely agree with you.
