Admitted Facebook Junkie

Hello, my name is Christine & I am an admitted Facebook junkie. 

On my Android phone, I have a direct link to Facebook, notifications set to pop up when someone sends me a message/writes on my wall/or friend requests me, & it is also my home page on my personal laptop.

This is so sad.

What's even more pathetic is how often I check my Facebook account when I haven't even gotten any notifications that anyone has written me a message/on my wall. I spy on other "friends" status', their posted photos, & who is commenting on what. I click "Like" on pretty much everything.

Why do I care? Why do I have to know?

Facebook used to be such a huge deal for me to check because it's part of how I communicated with Chase back when we were long-distance. Now, it's just a way of me keeping family/friends updated on what's going on in our lives. Showing off pictures of Apollo, funny status' of what happened during the day, cute pictures of Chase & I, etc.


I quite honestly do NOT know why I've continued to let it be such a HUGE part of what I do throughout the day. I could be spending more time getting stuff done that I've been putting off for too long, trying new recipes, reading, or paying attention to Chase/Apollo rather than sitting on my laptop/phone scrolling through other people's (excuse me) Facebook shit.


This is not a jab at Facebook or any other Facebook junkies. I actually appreciate how it brings people together socially online, helps out small business', & re-creates long lost or new friendships. I will actually be posting this blog to my Facebook account once it is finished, but not checking Facebook again until later this evening.


Here is my mid-year-resolution: 
Only check Facebook 2-3x per day...possibly 1-2x if that. It doesn't need to be a part of an hourly routine for me anymore!!! SO, I have already turned off my Android notifications, & removed it from my direct link on my phone's home page so if I want to check my Facebook via phone, I have to push several buttons to get to the link. What's pathetic is, I already haven't checked Facebook at ALL through my phone today since doing that. After I post this blog, my new homepage will be GOOGLE's home page (not Facebook) & I will log out every time making myself have to manually login.

*sigh of relief here*
