Turns out getting rid of Facebook has been amazing. I am way less worried or interested about the nitty gritty details of everyone's life. I've also noticed that when I'm with friends I'm way more engaged about what's been going on because I actually don't know.
The elimination of a personal Facebook page has allowed me to think about other things in my life I want to work on.
This lenten season, I chose to work on some character "flaws" in order to become more like Christ rather than giving something up. Turns out, I would have been more successful giving something up. Trying to rid yourself of the nasty habits you get in doesn't happen in 40 days.
I'm much more aware of them, perhaps that is the first step. It's actually painful.
So here's what I'm thinking: If you aren't sure if you should quit facebook, I say do it. It has allowed me to realize that I'm not the center of the universe. I talk to the people that enrich my life and that I care about. And, it has allowed me to be much more introspective.
