My Non-Facebook Experience: What I've Learned So Far

It's been about three weeks since I dropped Facebook (for reasons that I will post about later... that essay is the longer project I'm working on) and it feels very freeing to unplug. However, I've also ran into some limitations. Here are a couple:

1. I can't access my goodreads account since it's attached to my Facebook account. Deactivated Facebook account = can't brag about my reading list.
2. My 750words.com account is also attached to Facebook. That means no bragging about my writing productivity!

As more and more online services require a Facebook account to activate or use, I'll find myself enticed to reactivate my account. That's just how things go, I guess.

Granted, the joy of being able to share things with people is undeniably profound. However, for me, the drive to constantly find something interesting to post or say has nearly destroyed my sense of self worth. I needed to remove myself from FB and drop most of my friends so I can find some peace. 

And with that solace will come assessment, action, and happiness.

I hope.
