I just deleted my facebook. This feels...good. Really good. I feel so free.

Honestly, facebook disgusted me. All I ever saw on my news feed was people complaining about first world problems and being miserable for no good reason. Everything thing was about feels and trying adapt to a certain kind of self identity. People go on facebook and put on these digital costumes so everyone else can judge them accordingly. To me it felt like the ultimate sign of conformity to the worlds standards and showed a lack of ability to create ones own identity.

It was nice to communicate with my friends, but my other "friends" (and me too when I was younger) let it degenerate their sense of self. I just couldn't stand to log on anymore out of principle and preference.

No more "Haters gonna hate so please stfu ", "I freaking hate not having a boyfriend" and "gonna go get smashed with my hommies#yolo".

This is sounds like edgy-teenager rhetoric, I know. I just got sick of it and now I feel like I've broken chains that anchored me down with immaturity.

Thoughts and experiences? Results?
