Well it seems that I am not the only one who sometimes finds Facebook to be a bit disconcerting as I have had more than one friend tell me that the “worlds colliding” bit is hard. A few of you have deleted your Facebook accounts because of this.
And the truth is that there have been moments where I have considered it too. I suppose that it is only fair to say that there have been moments where I have considered closing up shop here as well, but that is a bit different. So let’s focus on Facebook for a few moments and I’ll try to shed some light on it.
When I evaluate my short life I can say that overall it has been quite good. There has been more good than bad, more happiness than sad. But there are moments in time that I don’t want to revisit. Some of them are tied into the sad memories and some of them are tied into the happier moments.
The main thing is that they are done. There are people and places who may have been important but they are a milestone that is best left in the past. They are a stop on the road that I don’t want to revisit.
Sometimes it is just easier to let them sit in memory. But on Facebook the past continues to rear its head.
