I think it might also be the company I’m keeping on Facebook. I spent years in the lifestyle/fashion industry and they’re not exactly known for being too…conservative. While I don’t consider myself part of the (extreme) right (nor do I want to be), I certainly feel out of place (and more so these days) amongst them. And some of them don’t seem to get me. One blogger once called me an “over-privileged brat.” I don’t want to get into it. It can be a sensitive topic and it’s a whole other post.

For the past few days, I’ve been avoiding Facebook on my computer completely and really only looking at my phone’s app maybe two or three times a day. I’m trying to write a bit more, and maybe even attempt a children’s book. I have been working on one, but it’s not really going anywhere. Maybe I should just stick with blogging.

I HAVE posted a few items on Facebook, but they’ve all been cross-posts from a Instagram. Or replies to people on their pages. But that’s pretty much it. I mean, I’ll probably share this article, but that’s sharing and not directly posting.

Facebook just isn’t mentally pleasant anymore. Or at least many of the company I’m keeping. I suppose I need to do a cleanup, but I’ll likely wait until the new year. I’m just not in the mood right now.
