quite a nice feeling. sort of, lighter.. or something.

I just recently deactivated my facebook account. and for those who know me, or have me on facebook... i was all over that. i was legitimately addicted to facebook, and people didnt believe me when i said i quit. now, it's been over a week and i really dont miss it. i really really really dont. it took me a few days to really get it out of my system... the day after i deactivated it, i went to Puvirnituq to see my boyfriend. i dont know if that timing was good or bad, yet somehow, it felt like both. it was bad because usually, when i go there i'll facebook my friends to see what's going on, but this time, being so used to facebook i felt paralyzed without it and ended up staying in the house for the whole 2 days alone with my man, which wasnt awful, but it's always nice to see friends there... the good part was that he doesnt have facebook, and i got to spend a few days just completely ignoring all the bitching, whining, complaining, criticizing, judgemental shit people put out there and i was able to actually relax. it did take me quite a while to figure out alternative things to do with so much free time though. but it was like, a re-introduction to the real world, sort of. i realized i can do something, anything at all... without checking facebook every 5 minutes for a notification. it's weird to think that i havent had the freedom to do that in... 5 years, since i activated my facebook for the first time... it's a really nice feeling.
