I feel like I should have been more specific about the parameters around 'quitting' Facebook.
New friends, new connections
Over the past week or so I have made a few new friends, and it was a joy to be able to connect with them through Facebook - to add more the little I already knew about them. I also posted a party invite there.
So I find myself checking in about once every few days to see if someone has a question.
Finding moments of peace
But I'm not trawling constantly whenever I have a spare minute while waiting at the traffic lights or in the coffee queue. Instead I run an errand or two while the barista prepares my daily hit. Or I reply to a text. Or I just stand and enjoy a moment of doing anything.
I've stopped reading people's updates - not that I don't care, but that the updates will happen when I read them or not and no-one ever had their day made, or ruined, over whether I 'liked' their status or not.
I'm enjoying the space I have created. I may well stay like this when the end of February rolls around.
