Breaking Up With Facebook! Huuuuuh!
I’m going off of Facebook in hopes of returning to real, physical friendships. I love watching wrinkles move and teeth glisten with the filmy stuff that forms from excitement. I like holding hands and hugging. And maybe I’ll miss Facebook. But maybe I’ll get back in touch with my friends in real-life. Maybe we’ll talk on the phone more, have a conversation where I interrupt and they interrupt. And for the people I’ve just met at a book event or conference, maybe I’ll see you again at another conference and we’ll catch up. Or you can always e-mail me. I have four e-mail accounts linked to three different colleges.
My gawd, this is hard. But at least I've gotta give it a try. What's that thing someone once said: Let something go, and if it comes back to you it's meant to be. Oh. I don't know. Will Facebook ever come back to me? Guess we'll find out.
I will miss you all, I’m sure. But it’s for the better. My students need my attention and my book needs revision and my family, well, they’re just going to have to call me to see how I’m doing. I need more time to write better and love better and live better, which means stepping away from cyber-self-consciousness and moving towards improving the life that is physically in front of me.
