Here's the deal. I am a big social media junkie. I still love Facebook - I like keeping connected with friends and family and will admit to liking being able to stalk people I went to school with even if I am not really still "friends" with them. But, I have also realized that I had a lot of people on my friends list that I barely even know - or really don't care that much to follow. I kind of decided if I am using Facebook's "block from News Feed" feature - then maybe I don't really need them on my friends list at all.
So in the spirit of my simplify for 2014, I decided it was time to pare down. One of my college friends put it best - if you haven't interacted online with someone in over six months maybe it is best to let them go.
I don't feel that guilty about the folks I cut loose. I want to work on cultivating relationships with people I truly know and like and I feel that way especially now that I have a child.
Even though I use it less, I plan on doing the same with Twitter. I already did it a while back with Instagram too.
Maybe it sounds like I'm a bad person but I have to say, it just feels refreshing! I recommend it, it's like doing a cleanse of your online body!
