A farewell to facebook.

"Where we all share out best bits, but leave out the emotion." 

I didn't leave Facebook to make a big statement, so I hadn't written about it on ye olde blog. I didn't leave as some nod to the new hipster wave of facebook exiles. I just decided one day that it might be better for me to try not being there.

And it hasn't been some big life-changing thing. But has been a little life-changing thing. I've found that I know a little less about the daily details of everyone's lives. I've found that I crave face-to-face interaction and conversation more, and I'm more engaged and present when I'm with people. I'm really there.

I'm still here. I'm on G+. I'm on Twitter and Instagram (kinda). I'm not off the grid, and I don't have hard and fast rules for what I will and won't do in the future. But for now, living without facebook has helped me to be more present and more grateful, and I'll take it.
