I was planning on writing a blog post after the Women's March in Philly, after the political backlash on facebook, my anger boiling over from my interactions with friends and acquaintences. I just needed to step back and take a minute because, this isn't what I wanted to blog about. Instead, I decided to take a facebook break, embrace my calligraphy practice, walk more, and figure out my life.
I have been on facebook approximately 1/2 hour over the past two weeks. This has been the best decision that I have made in awhile. I haven't been pulled into other people's lives, scrolling, reading, commenting, and moving on. It is a good feeling that I am more in control of my time then, this stupid website (although instagram...that's another story). Also, events...I realized there is a proliferation of events to go to on facebook, I do not miss seeing them and simply being interested in them.
My self confidence has boosted, I am no longer comparing myself to others or wondering so much about the trajectory of my own life and what I might be missing out on. I have started to become happy and loving myself more and more each day. These are feelings that I haven't been acquainted with in quite a long time (if ever). I am becoming more comfortable in my own skin, which I wish happened sooner than 35.
