New Beginings

Today I decided to delete my Facebook account, yay. Let us celebrate. FREEDOM.

Now I have plenty of reasons for doing such a crazy and wild thing, don't think it was a rash decision.
1. It's a breeding ground for bullies and bad vibes
I got bullied,that's not okay. I'm in my twenties and people still think it's okay to be bullies and I don't need that in my life. Others get bullied, still not okay.I don't want to support a site that makes it easier for people to get bullied, life is hard enough as it is, we don't need people bringing us down 24/7. People spend their time on Facebook complaining when they could be doing something about it.
2. It's bad for me mentally
Like I said before, bullying. Also, seeing what everybody else is doing at almost every moment of their life it becomes easy to compare yourself to others and that is unhealthy. I live my own life and it will never be exactly the same as anyone's. Though I may not do it consciously I compare myself to others and stress myself out and I'm already a stressed out college kid that works and goes to school full time.   
3. It's not a necessity, there was life before Facebook.
There is no creation story that begins "and Facebook came into being and from it sprung humanity and all the creatures of the Earth." There have been lots of people who never had Facebook and have done pretty well. 
4. It will free me from the time waster that it is.
No logging on to Facebook=more time to decrease World suck. And time to read. 
5. I can focus on what is really important.
Facebook creates a lot of fake relationships, with the click of the button you are friends with someone or if you are a majority of the Facebook community, 500 some friends. In all honesty you can't have that many friends, acquaintances, yes, friends, no. I have my few close friends and that is all I need, not delusions of hundreds of so called friends that you met that one time and that one place. The world is already riddled with lies, I don't need to lie to myself about who my friends are and what qualifies them as friends.

I can also focus om doing good. Facebook is very good at creating a false atmosphere of helping, all the "like this to save that"  "follow this to create awareness." That's just lazy and insincere, though I know people have the best intentions liking a post isn't really going to save the world.

I would also like to spend more time on this blog and post whatever awesomeness I am up to and be able to document my adventures more freely.
So here's to new beginnings and the wonderful journey ahead! Allons-y!
