The new year is upon us, and I figured I would address my social media disappearance. I left rather abruptly from Google +, and other social media. I confided in one person, and even with his convincing I decided it was best to leave for a while.
Social media was ruling my life. I was spending countless hours reading streams and timelines. I reflect back these last few weeks without social media, and it really made me think. Why was things making me so angry, and annoyed? Was I following people that normally I wouldn't talk to in real life? Were most of the people in my circles really my friends? How many haven't even noticed I left, and uncircled everyone?
After disappearing a few weeks ago I realized that I am not missing it at all. I am a happier person. I don't have to read all day of people praising games that are pure garbage. I can now focus again on my blog, and the original reason I created it a few years ago.
My main purpose of my blog is to talk about games, and stuff that I am playing. I was getting way to sidetracked with social media, and totally losing my focus. I spent so much time on social media it left me no time to even play games it seemed. I just want to have fun playing games, and write about it.
I can now write posts on my blog, and not worry about anything but myself. It feels good, and I wonder why I held on to social media for as long as I did. I don't see myself going back in 2012.
