Turning a new page.

Heres the idea... I want to begin to distance myself from the consuming black hole of Facebook. I know myself too well to think that I could ever actually get rid of it. With school starting back up tomorrow I am hoping that I will be forced to push myself away from the computer and social networks. It has become to easy, as my awesome friend PJ the Great pointed out, to stop actually connecting with people in real life and only doing it online. I am apart of some debate pages that quite frankly make me sick. Yet there is an entertainment value. Its almost like watching a soap opera, but these are real people saying awful things to and about eachother yet all claiming to share a common bond of being a military wife. Just another reason I am glad to not participate in the local spouse groups anymore. All they are is a reason to create a cliq where outsiders are not welcome and gossip is their life line.
Life at home is not always sunshine and rainbows. Lets face it, thats no secret. But it should have been. I trusted the wrong people. People I never would have met with out networks such as the ones I spoke of earlier. Temptations are lurking around every corner and I am not in the right place to be able to resist them forever. Thats just fact. I know many think I am this awful person who is mean or has anger problems and to a point, its true. However it takes A LOT to get to me to level of explosion. More than most, and I am not a push over who will let things slide just to turn around and flap the gums about it later. I have some amazing things going on in my life right now and in the near future and those things should be shared with the people who love me in real life. Not the ones who just pretend to be friends to be in the know so they have something to talk about with the other no life blabbers. I have fully admitted to being someone who likes to know what others are up to, but never... not ever... have I taken that information and spread it to others. I guess class is not on a list of desirable traits anymore. Pitty.

At first I was quite a wreck without facebook, I would grab my phone to check and see what I was missing only to remember that I wasn't missing anything.

Do I talk to a lot less people, yes. But the ones who really count, the ones who really matter and care about me are still there.

I can honestly and truly say I no longer miss it. OMG, and the time I have no... ridiculous! I'm getting so much accomplished because I'm not spending tons of time staring at that screen and obsessively hitting refresh.

Good luck Ashleigh <3
