About face...

On June 17 last year I deactivated my Facebook account and hadn't looked at it at all during that time. I returned to it yesterday and found everything was as I had left it. All my photos and posts are still there, all the people I blocked are still blocked, all the friends I kept, after I trashed all the ones I'd accumulated through friend requests (all the people I didn't know but who wanted to be my friend, even though they didn't know me) are still there. Everything is the same as it was. Everyone is still posting photos, making links to YouTube and making comments about their daily lives. I guess that's what Facebook is all about. I announced, that I was back and received a few welcome messages and I made a few friend requests to people I actually know. Facebook does make things easier, it allows you to convey information very quickly to quite a number of people. I vowed that things will be different for me this time on Facebook. I won't be so obsessive, I won't check it twice a day, I won't overload my page with information, I won't expect people to respond to everything that I post, in other words, I'm now Facebook savvy. I understand its limitations and I understand my limitations in regards to it. I'll probably still feel a little weird if I reject some one's friend request, but I'll do it anyway because I really don't want to be accumulating 'friends' just for the sake of it.
