Well, I am in the process of deactivating (deleting) many accounts I created or signed up for last time. They include social networks like Twitter, Ask.fm, and Tumblr... Yes it is my decision to do so and HONESTLY, measures are taken for the better, at least for me. A few reasons why:
- Tired, repetitive - Specifically Ask.fm. Initially, I can't bring myself to delete it because some people were really nice. I was told by them about how they like reading my answers, all for enjoyment and positive purposes. It was pretty tough, especially how socializing and making friends online had become a chore for most teenagers these days. I have tried deleting my ask.fm account once, but of no great use, because I went back to it afterwards. However, this is official: I will emphasize on the word, 'official' because writing on this blog means seriousness from Sta. Don't you think? Gahahaha. I realized something: my answers are on repeat!! I mean, the questions "they" asked were pretty much similar as time goes by, hence, the answers too. Its like a what-goes-around-comes-back-around thing I guess. Its getting rather tedious. I want to experience new things. I don't wanna sit there, only to go through the same routine all over again. Thanks, but no thanks.
- Continue staying true - Sometimes I cannot see a distinctive border between who is controlling what, or what is controlling who. I tend to get drawn away by social medias such as Twitter and Tumblr last time. I got addicted to it, sorta. As a result, neglecting family and things happening at home. Also, the thing I figured about them 'trendy' sites is that: they have strong influential abilities, and one gotta have a balance between reality and virtual world. In this case, I am implying about those "perfect" people that are often seen online, living extremely good lives with particular styles and personalities, often admired by many. I kept reminding myself that those were only PART OF THE TRUTH... And that everyone, at some point in their lives... do face setbacks. Moreover, I don't have to become one of them, right? I can learn good values from them, but don't necessarily need to act and dress the way they are to be socially accepted. After all, it is my life and I can live it however I want. Of course, consequences included.
- Inactive, MIA for a long time - Kekekeke! We all have accounts that were created for experimentation purposes. Be it, because of friends talking about how good they are, or just simply peer pressure. Yes, no exception for me too -- HIGH FIVE DUDES! Personally, I feel good cleaning up things I don't want anymore. It is like hmm... moving on... somehow...
- Concentrate on other things - Fret not y'all, I still have my first loves --- no, still loves Blogger, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to interact with. Oh, and also the pretty newly converted 'Google+' account. Obviously, there are reasons to keep them in comparison to all social networks upon deactivation. All's well that ends well. Period.
Alright. Four reasons and the post already covered many things I have in mind! Of course, I am just sharing my personal thoughts, thus, I am not convincing anyone to do the same thing as me. If y'all insist on keeping some of your accounts, it is TOTALLY cool with me /nods head/. Okay?
Where do these sudden actions came from, anyways? I was watching a video by Chelsea Crokett, also known as BeautyLiciousInsider on YouTube. One of her videos really got into me. It makes me ponder about certain network issues, before coming into a conclusion, a pretty big decision to make actually. The video? Here you go.
It is never easy living with change. Yesterday, there was a workshop held in school regarding finance. Then, there was this particular quote about habits: "It takes 21 days to keep a habit, but 7 days to break them". Hopefully, I will not go back to my old addictive ways. Instead, I should live my life fully and simply learn to enjoy each day.
Thank you for reading!
