It's kind of alarming. I didn't have to get out of bed to know it was snowing or to learn what was going on in the world or to keep in touch with friends. This is equal parts awesome and scary.
Awesome: If and when my phone is charged, I can keep in touch with friends living all over the US (and my lovely friends who have moved abroad), with friends I haven't seen in years, and get news updated very quickly. I can work remotely and still keep in touch with not just the Chicago team but colleagues across our many sites. I can live far away from my brother (who's currently in Germany) and dad (enjoying warm weather in Florida) and still talk to them every day.
Scary: It's hard to cut myself off, and I'm reliant on technology throughout the day. I know a lot about other people's lives via Facebook, and I'm pretty sure people know a good amount about my life as well (particularly since I'm very open on this blog).
So I'm doing a cleanse. Disconnecting from Facebook for a week. Maybe Twitter and Instagram will be next. For now, Facebook, you're my vice...so I'm tackling you head-on and deleting you from my phone and computer (and iPad--perhaps there's another problem: too many devices!).

Dear Facebook,
It's not you; it's me. I can't give you what you need, and I just need space right now. I need to focus on my career right now, and you deserve better.
Maybe we can still be friends,
Alex

Here's to enjoying the beautiful snow (and finding out it's beautiful, because I walked outside not because I saw 14 posts about it online...),
♥a
P.S. Yes, I realize this is ridiculous. I'm breaking up with Facebook via a blog post. I get it. #lol
P.P.S. It was painful to hashtag lol.
