Facebook is the new Myspace...

 

Or at least that’s how I feel. Facebook has become sooooo BORING. Is it my friends? Is it me? I am shamefully going to admit that there was a time in my Facebook life that I couldn’t get out of bed without checking my iPhone to see what the latest, or earliest, post was. And you know what? My friends never failed me. I have found out the most intimate detail of “friends” that in real life they would never divulge. I’ve know their workout schedule, where their kids go to school, their relationship status, their blood type…There is nothing on Facebook that adults without shame will post. We post our vacation photos, our kids doing things that only we think is cute, bible quotes, and anything we can to make our friends envious of our life.

But does it work? Do I think that my friends really care about my daughter’s volcano project? Or do I just want cyber validation? I don’t know, but I do know that it’s getting old to me. I find myself mumbling under my breathe that I really don’t give a damn about your workout, your kids’ sports schedule, your date night, your upcoming vacation, or that you’re “In a relationship, but it’s complicated”. So, on that note, I feel it’s time to gradually move on from Facebook. I’m too nosy to just shut it down completely, but I feel the circle of social networking life has happened for Facebook, as it did for Myspace. I will soon get that dirty feeling after logging on, and clicking “like” on someone’s mudane post.

So, I welcome myself back to blogging. A place where I don’t have a character limits on my post, and ridiculous apps that clog up a “news feed". And it's only be 7 months since my last blog post! Holla!
