Sigh of Relief

I went and done it. I closed out my Facebook account. There are various reasons. However, one of the big ones is that social media makes people depressed. Who wants that kind of stress?

So what was the straw that broke the camel’s back? My lovely wife was off visiting family in California for most of August. She had limited access to Facebook. After she got home and logged on, she found plenty of things to get upset about. There’s a lot of hate and stupidity on social media.

If people need to get hold of me, they’ll have to find some other way. If I’m not important enough for them to contact me directly -well, then it is what it is.

So my decision was a form of mental health maintenance. That fact that I’m suddenly flying a little more under the radar is just an added bonus.
