Facebook

Facebook is annoying! I love it and am thankful for it and am on it multiple times a day- but it is annoying. Perhaps I should take a break.

Facebook is one of the reasons I have had a hard time living in the moment. If I post a certain something on Facebook maybe someone will have a thought about me that I don't like. Maybe if I post something else, someone will know I am thinking about them. But since I want to be coy, I have to be somewhat secretive. Facebook is annoying because you can see what other people post on other peoples walls. You can see that people are making plans to go to concerts and having play dates- and Facebook hurts feelings because you used to be included in those concerts and play dates.

Facebook makes work and flirting easier. But it also makes it so people don't have to pick up the phone and talk to their friends and family to say, "hey, I thinking about you." I went to my 10 yr high school reunion last year and I didn't have to talk to everyone I talked to because I already knew what they've been up to because of Facebook.

I talked to some of my family about this today and it think it was decided that people who are married and/or are in relationships experience Facebook a little differently than single people. I think that might be right.

Facebook is a funny thing. Today it pulled a few heart strings. It has pulled at the heart strings every time I've logged in for the last while. But I keep doing it. Ha.

Aside from my moments on Facebook, I did a good job being in the moment today. Im getting excited about this new chapter of Chelsea.
