My new years resolution this year is to leave facebook. I have a lot of reasons for doing this. I’ve tried to do it in the past and just keep giving in and going back. It’s addictive, I’ll admit that. That alone is a good reason to leave!

The main reasons I want to leave facebook forever are these:

First of all it’s a huge waste of time! I spend so much time every day checking facebook to see if I have any notifications that I don’t even care about! I could be doing so many more useful things! For example I could be updating my much neglected blog. I could be spending time with family, working on art, cleaning, reading, whatever. It’s all more useful than goofing around on facebook.

Another reason is that I always offend people. I have really weird opinions about lots of things and people get offended all the time by stuff I say. You’ll notice that this will now happen on here since this is going to be my creative outlet from now on.

Also, I just don’t get people! They put stuff up all the time that I’m like, “Why on Earth would you put that on facebook for the whole universe to read?!?!?” Or,”What are you thinking?!?!? Do you have a brain at all?!?!?!?!?” It makes it really hard for me to not be hard on people so in order for me to have more love for humankind in general I need to stop.

I also recently learned that facebook may have very uncool origins. I don’t want to support that yuck.

Also have you noticed that nobody ever talks about anything important or real on facebook? It’s always frivolous narcissistic nonsense that doesn’t do anything but feed the commenter’s need for attention. I’m not trying to sound all negative or anything, I’m just saying that I don’t see the point of using a tool that could be being used to make the world better but isn’t. I want to inspire and uplift and usually when I try to on facebook my comments just get torn apart or mocked.

Anyway those are the main reasons I’m quitting. That’s enough for me. So you’ll see me on here a lot more now ‘cuz I really enjoy having a creative outlet and sharing my art, poetry, thoughts, and stuff like that with people who are interested. I figure if you’re taking the time to read my blog you’re interested unlike people on facebook who just read what I wrote because I happen to show up on their homepage. If you’re not interested that’s fine too. I kind of think of this as a journal of my creative endeavors. That’s good enough for me.
