A World Without FB

I’ve finally deactivated my FB account. Which is actually a good thing, considering that reading FB on a daily basis is sucking my time away from reading normal things, like things made out of paper (which in return are made out of trees) and all that normal stuff. I want to see how it’s like living a month (or maybe 2, or heck, make it a year!) without FB!

I know that some people can’t live without FB for days, or maybe minutes. Or maybe seconds. These are called FB-dicts. They’re so obsessed with FB that FB is practically taking a toll on their lives.

I need an out from FB. At least for the moment. I want to savor the pre-FB days, before FB took over our lives. I miss those old days when we’d sit under the apple tree, curled up with a good book (instead of FB-ing away on my Ipad and stuff).

FB is history now. I just want to go back to the basics, that’s all. NO more FB for me. I’ve kind of boycotted FB, until I gain my priorities and set things straight.

I’ve forgotten how it feels to live like there was never any FB. Yes, FB is prevalent, so omnipotent in our lives, in our universe.

It’s just that potent that it just sucks that inherent part of you.

I think FB is a cool thing, and all this tech stuff is great, but I need to go back to the time that was pre-FB era.

Before FB, I spent most of my time reading books and stuff, and I enjoyed the world of fantasy and fiction. Just smelling that whiff of paperback. Feeling the crisp paper as I flip from page to page.

But with the advent of FB, these experiences started to diminish, albeit not so significantly. But still, it does take a toll on me in some ways.

OK. So no FB. Deactivated. I’ll just go back to the basics.

Live simply. Life’s just simple.
