On a Break

Dear Facebook,

It's not you, it's me. I like you too much, and it's time to step back and reevaluate. You are great, really. I love hearing from friends and seeing pictures of their babies. I enjoy talking with the women in the Quad 4 group--we support and help each other. I like the convenience of sending messages to groups of people--you can't have group conversations with email. At least not so easily. You even support my religion by letting me share (and find) clips and talks I find inspiring.  It is fun to celebrate successes with friends, and sometimes I learn about friends who are hurting and in need of support.

But it's time for me to let go. I need to actually celebrate and help people. I should be helping kids with homework instead of straining my eyes on the phone while sitting next to them. One day I spent hours with you arguing, defending mothers who work at home instead of actually getting my work done. If I had to define a breaking point, that was it. I have also been thinking of me. I need time to be me, to figure out me, to do the things I've always wanted to do.

I still want to be friends, but give me a while.

Thanks for understanding.

Love,
Jenn
