Hi my name is Pearl and this is my short Blog about why i took a break from Facebook.
I TOOK A BREAK FROM FACEBOOK AND THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED
First of all i didn’t do this because Facebook is evil and i hate it and i’m not gonna be talking trash about it, i decided to write a personal Blog about this because i never had a chance to explain myself to people why i took off from Facebook.
The real reason why i took off from Facebook is something that were far too deep for me, this is embarrassing for me to say but at the same time i think a lot of people are in the same boat, i don’t know about you guys but i was like thinking what is my life without Facebook and messenger i also wanted to say what if you have been thinking about doing this and start considering. Just fvcking do it because it’s just so helpful for the mind state for everything, and yes i have been taking a break from a lot of things in my life lately i even removed my sim card from my phone and who cares? Lol that’s a different story let’s go back to the topic, i think it is essential for my personal growth because for me generally sharing my life and thoughts on Facebook is just too unhealthy this is just my own perspective i don’t know about you guys but basically for me we live in such a mind state right now where like you think it, you post it i am not against with that but this is just base on my personal experience, i wake up in the morning and straight for my phone like i didn’t even say a little prayer yet open my Facebook and there i go scrolling my news feeds posting and sharing anything and get my ego stroked and destroyed in five minutes every day.
I started to ask myself, this is how i started my day? i feel like Facebook has become a vice for me to the point that there were times in my life were all i ever did the whole damn day was just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling on Facebook absorbing everything and draining myself out at the end of the day. I have my own feelings and emotions and thoughts i have went through, so why the freak i’m gonna have a room for all of these.
I took a break and replaced it with "space" why don’t i just get up and do something for my body or anything productive things other than grabbing my phone and hooking myself up with Facebook. I deleted my Facebook, messenger as well as my Instagram app from my phone and started living my life, right now i feel i created a lot of space in my life it is a great experiment for me.
Waking up in the morning saying a little prayer and doing something productive like yoga and meditation it felt so good, doing the house chores is a great exercise ever watching movies on Netflix is one of the best past time for me or reading a good book or even writing a Blog like this is really healthy for the mind state.
It is so hard to break a patterns you really used to but i guess this is just a beginning of my new pattern, healthier pattern i must say. You might be thinking right now that i am leaving Facebook forever, but no this is just a break, a must have break that needs to be done, and why not now Facebook is kind of a vice for me and i just felt really bothered about it.
Overall the biggest thing i learned is Facebook is like a caffeine or probably like smoking weed or cigarette that you need to have a healthy habit with things like those and limit your use of those said vice, that is what Facebook personally for me, when i get back maybe i will start like i’m gonna set a timer for 30 minutes and get the freaking off and go live my life in real world. This is the biggest thing for me learning to form a more healthier habit with Facebook and other social media as well, limited time, not going on it when I first wake up in the morning and not putting a lot of weight in it draining myself destroying my ego.
Huge thing i would want to make clear and share to people, i literally forgot about Facebook within this break and i never really once felt like i was missing out on anything i was just like i’m missing nothing it’s like it’s going to be the same when i go back like the world of Facebook social media did not change while i was removed from it. In general i have felt a lot more present in my daily life, i haven’t really thought like i have to share this, i have to post that, i have to upload new selfie each day, i feel free right now freedom to be me and freedom to enjoy life without even posting it, freedom to think and savor my own thoughts.
This is very embarrassing to share but i realized that most of the things that i had post and share on Facebook were so freaking dumb and silly and i would have a moment to myself where I’ll be like why did i even share that thought no one needed to know that lol then i laugh at myself and that made me super aware of just what i wanted to post like it has to be really important and productive and it has to be good and positive vibes and not stuffs that could have offend people or make people feel bad about themselves.
When i get back i will share this Blog on Facebook maybe some teenagers nowadays can’t relate to this Blog but for sure there’s a lot of people out there especially adults who are in the same boat.
I’m in love with this transition happening in my life right now i feel more awakened and present and i just want to share my perspectives with the world.
