Every time I go to post a status, I pause. Because I could instead just tweet my thoughts – but Twitter is a whole other beast to me and I’m not in love with it, either… Or I could just not post anything. To any social media outlet. I can either express my thought to a human directly or keep it to myself.

This is the struggle I have with social media nowadays – except Instagram, which has become my newfound obsession. Do people really care that I am suffering from jet lag?! That I have 12-hour days sometimes? That I had to run to the bus one morning? More than likely not. Do they care that I am head over heels in loooove with my boyfriend? That I graduate soon? Maybe some but definitely not the majority. So why do we/I feel the need to constantly keep others in the loop? (I guess the same could be said for blogging but to me, this serves a much different purpose as an outlet of expression.) I don’t know but despite not knowing and feeling like facebook has definitely lost its value to me, I still can’t get myself to quit it. Does that make me dependent?????? Probably. Here’s to hoping that one day I can take the plunge and deactivate it for good. Or just come to accept it as the addicting social network that it is.

Now excuse me while I update my status … Whoops!

Have any of you quit social media? Why and how’d you do it?!
