i've been reading the posts about facebook, and it surprised me how much i've severed my attachment with it in such a short time. the need to be constantly connected stressed me out so much, and now it's like i finally have some space to breathe and think without worrying that my friends will be constantly be trying to talk to me. it's sort of a moot point with my cell phone still being in use, but the difference is that no one can look and see if i'm "online" so if i don't want to talk, i don't have to. the solitude is really comforting to be honest.
