Well, maybe not really weaning, but I’m trying to avoid spending too much time on that site right now. I’m getting the same ads and uber-PC posts on my stream. It’s just not…mentally positive, especially during the holiday season. People are so angry and this really is the time of year to feel that way. Instagram is much happier. I like seeing pictures of other people’s trees and other decorations!
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.
