Refreshing
I haven't gone near Facebook for the last week {except when I clicked on a link from my dentist's website accidentally}. I am totally over FB for now. It makes me more judgmental, irritated, "jolled out", self conscious and unhappy. It wastes my time. I don't know how to balance looking at it once a day for 10 minutes and being done. I read articles, I watch videos, I read the status updates, and look through the pictures. My SIL Haleigh said it best when she said, "I don't have enough charity to look at Facebook".
Here's the thing, I don't care what 500+ people are doing at any given moment of any given day. I just don't. It has been so refreshing to not know and to genuinely not care. It's not that I don't care about those people. I just don't need to know what's on their mind ALL the live long day.
I've limited my Instagram time and that has been a good move for me too.
I feel like this mini crisis may have something to do with the speaking assignment I have coming up at the end of the month in the 10th ward's girls camp. I already know what I'm going to talk about and I get more and more excited as I research and read up on what I feel prompted to speak about. Being a teenager is hard. I'd venture to say that being a grown adult is harder but that doesn't diminish the fact that they are going through hard things. I feel like I am literally going through the same feelings and emotions I had as a 16 year old girl. This has been weird and I don't like it. However, it's putting me in the right mind set for being able to relate to these girls.
Comparison really is the thief of joy. I wish it was easier to just not do it.
I'm currently reading Women and the Priesthood by Sheri Dew and I am LOVING IT. I love that woman. I love all that she stands for. It's been a long day and I'm ready for bed.

Also, I think it's funny that I just posted about Facebook saving my life and you're posting about how you're so happy you're avoiding it. :) Don't worry, we're still compatible iBesties.
