She doesn’t miss Facebook. Would I?

I came across an interesting, totally eye-opening blog entry today. Someone named Diane Iris recently deactivated her Facebook account and found that temporarily putting a stop to her addiction helped her appreciate real-life things a lot more. She mentioned the ways Facebook used to distract her when she had more important things to do (I seriously think this part was directed towards me..) And she concluded by saying she doesn’t miss Facebook. At all.

I’ve thought about deactivating my account many times, but I could never get myself to actually do it. I’m addicted. It’s something I need. No, I’m not one of those people who write 2385023923589 wall posts a day and change their status every time they take another breath. But I need Facebook. I need it to be one of my bookmarked tabs up at the top of this window. And I need to click on that tab every so often just for the heck of it.

It’s a problem.

Oh how I wish I could be more like Diane..
Maybe I’ll try it one day – deactivating my account.
And maybe it won’t be so bad.
