We could all use a break every now and then. Just me...stuffing my face.
I wrote a really long post about this topic and then decided to delete it. It was pretty dramatic so I decided I would keep it short and simple...I would hate to scare any of you away with how I really am...I am taking a little break from Facebook...and Twitter...and clearing out some of my "favorites" in Google Reader...maybe even use Pinterest just to pin stuff I see online and not spend hours "repining."
I decided that I needed to surround myself around things that uplift...encourage...grow me...and make me happy...and there were too many days where these social media places were doing the exact opposite...
I wonder if I will be a better wife...
A better aunt...
A better friend...
I wonder if I will get more done...
Finish some projects that have been on the back burner...
Make time to do something fun...
Even write better blog posts...
I think I will. So that is why I am taking a little break. This little break isn't anything super rigid. There is no end date or rules. Because with the way the world is these days, sometimes I have to use Facebook to communicate with some people {gag me now...I cannot believe I said that}.
But I will not be updating my life...not posting adorable pictures of my nephew or me and hubby...just taking a break...living life and being the person I want to be. Of course I will still be blogging...but hopefully with a clearer head and with less comparisons.
I am working really hard these days to set my eyes on positive things...on the God I love...and the person I want to be...all the while cleaning out the things that keep me from living this way.
My friend Jessi also wrote a really inspiring post about all this. I crave a similar ability to let go.
I know you are with me on some of this. What are your thoughts on social media these days?
