I understand that most people probably don't care and that is ok. Haha. But I feel the need to post this anyway.
To leave Facebook or not to leave? It sounds like such a trivial and unimportant thing. I am sure many of you are wondering why this is even a big deal at all or if it even matters. I think for a lot of people it probably doesn't. For me it has not been an easy decision but at the same time it is one that has made so much sense and I can no longer feel even the slightest desire to be a part of social media. Just to be clear it has nothing to do with family. We have loved being connected to you all. In fact, family has really been my only reason for staying on for as long as I have. It has been a really convenient way to stay connected to the majority of my extended family and I enjoy seeing what is going on in everyones lives, especially since we all live so far away. While these relationships are important to me I feel that social media has become a mostly negative distraction. It has taken me a while to realize and It just isn't worth my time anymore. I am ready to be done with it and I need to be.
In the new year Josh and I sat down and decided as a family that we need to put in a greater effort to cut out the negative and unnecessary distractions in our lives (and there are many) in order to devote more time to each other, to Clara and especially to our spiritual well-being.
With that said I know that this makes things more inconvenient but we do want to stay connected to you all! It just means that I will have to put in a greater effort if I want to be a part of your lives and you will have to do the same. With this in mind I have decided to re-engergize my blog and hopefully get back into the habit of weekly posting. It is a great way for me to journal but is an even better way for anyone that wants to see our updates to do so. It won't be anything fancy and sometimes it may just be me rambling on but I will do my best to provide photos, videos and updates of Clara since (lets be honest) that is why most of you are even here! (I don't mind :)
After 7+ years of waisted hours, I am finally cutting the cord. I am excited to disconnect and get back to the real world and the things that really matter. I mean no judgment to anyone else and I hope there is no judgment felt. At the same time I am still going to put it out there (for anyone that has had similar thoughts) that this is a liberating, freeing, positive change that can only bring good things to your life. It is a great way to clear out the garbage that fills our minds and create space for better things. I recommend it to anyone. So here's to really connecting with those we love, to living a positive and uplifting life and freeing ourselves from the worldly distractions that in the long run do not benefit our well being!
We are so excited for these changes! Life feels so positive right now and this is going to increase that ten fold! Thanks for reading.
