This year on 1st January 2017, I have
deactivated my Facebook account. I agree that it sounds a little crazy and
worthless to talk about, but trust me I have a lot to share.
Initially I thought that I would sign in within the
first few days, because I was habitual to the attention and frequent checking
my FB account and if someday I hadn’t then I used to feel lonely.
When, a month
or two passed, I realized that there is nothing that I miss about FB. I noticed
how useless talks, people and stuff I was involved in. That was never my fault, social medias are designed to make us addictive and hence we lose the
capacity of concentration.
Life is simple, but social media created all drama,
but igniting hatred, jealousy and anxiety within people. That is all because,
everything seems perfect there, good skin, lips, clothes, life everything. Everyone
seems to have a happening life and that creates differences. Social media is a
wonderful place to connect with good people and seek help for any cause, but
when things go opposite for you, you need to stop before it gets too late.
I too liked being popular and up to date kid at some
point of time, but there was nothing productive in it. You end up being in
chaos, rumors, fights and nothing right.
People spend hours scrolling down to satisfy their
eyes and mind, but the hours they spend are never equal to the satisfaction
they get and that makes them irritated and want to scroll more. Andrew Lewis
rightly said, “If you are not paying for the product, you are the product”.
How my life changed after abandoning
Facebook?
·
I have become more independent because I
don’t have to carry my virtual life problems.
·
I am much focused as I don’t get sudden
Facebook notifications or chats popping up from unknown people.
·
I get time to workout, read good books
and listen to my favourite musics. Basically, I have increased the self love
phase.
·
Now I know how action speaks louder than
extensive posts.
·
Happiness is always a personal choice,
no one can make me happy or sad.
·
I have a better mental and physical
health.
·
I haven’t disappeared. I still have good
friends and also know what’s going on around the globe.
By no means I am telling you to quit FB right now,
but if you wish to do that, there is nothing much that you are going to lose.
Love
