In my quest to be more honorable, more put-together, more educated and more positive, I deleted my Facebook profile. I felt that it would be a smart move for the anti-procrastination movement of 2010 that I’m also undertaking. So far I’ve not missed it. Before deleting, I asked several friends to send me their email addresses so I could add them to my gmail contacts but I regret having missed a few people.
The interesting part of this is the reactions I’ve received. People have attempted to delve into my personal life assuming something is wrong, others have assumed I was specifically being stalked or that my profile had been hijacked. None of the above. It feels nice to be unchained from the soul-sucking piece of pop culture that is social networking. No more superficial posts hoping that others are entertained by them. Now if people choose to speak to me, they will receive an honest conversation and vice versa.
