I have a love/hate affair with social media. It’s complicated, and you’re not my therapist, so I won’t go into all the details of that here, but trust me – I do.
In the past, I have tried to rationalize my need for it because of work. But then we went and hired a Director of Communications, so that was no longer the case. So, I am going to do an experiment: I am killing Facebook and Twitter. Not forever, but at least over Lent.
I don’t think makes me holy or anything – just a way to turn down the noise in my head and start focusing on things that matter to me more than worrying about my friend count or what my 8th grade classmate had for dinner.
If you need me, you can use the contact page on this site. I will still blog occasionally, so if you follow my blog mainly through Facebook, you can still stay on top of that with my “public” page, which is located here. Just know that whatever you post on there I won’t see until after Easter, at the earliest.
Thanks for the grace.
I woke up this morning knowing I had to do this too, for much the same reason. Since I made the decision and shut things down about an hour ago, I have tried to click into FB no less than 5 times. Guess I needed this more than I realized.
