Myspace/Facebook

The other day I was talking with a friend and he asked me why I don't have a myspace or facebook anymore. My answer was that I don't really want them in my life at the moment. He said “you're a little wired sometimes”. I have been thinking about this for a while now and I thought I would blog about it and explain the reasons behind deleting my myspace and facebook.


There are many reason why I made the choice to delete my myspace and facebook. The first reason is that last semester I studied Psychology which was the best subject that I did. I learnt about a disorder called Internet addiction, which consists of spending an inordinate amount of time on the Internet and the inability to control online use. I felt that I was slipping quickly into this addiction so I decided to replace the myspace and facebook time with reading and prayer.


The second reason was that I am a procrastinator and the best thing for me to procrastinate on was myspace and facebook. Last semester all my assignments where finished a week before, if not two weeks before, they were due. This just shows that I did less procrastinating and more study. The decision to delete the two was not that easy but I think I am now a little better with my time.


The third and final reason that I deleted them both was that I was suffering from depression. I didn't want to be apart of the world, I just wanted to be on my own. Although I believe the depression is under control now, I have made the decision not to get myspace and facebook back.


I know for some people this is hard to understand but I believe that it is the best option for me. I know there are quite a few benefits to myspace and facebook but like I said to my friend, right now I don't need them in my life. I hope this has cleared some things up. I have been meaning to write this down for weeks now so I am glad I have finally blogged it. There are quite a few more blogs coming.
