Last login. 1 week clean.
Mood: Better.
Dear Diary,
After some much needed time off from work (at the boss's request) I am feeling a lot better. Its been a week since I last logged in. At this point in my experiment, I am not missing it. I do have more time on my hands. One thing I have noticed is (which I need to be careful of) is to not substitute one app for another. What would be the point of me giving up Facebook if I am only going to spend all my time on Tumblr? I have not slipped. There are 15 notifications now on the app now. I have also received an email from Facebook telling me someone had commented on my status, and yet I have managed to resist. It may sound silly, but I don't spend all my time staring down at my phone anymore, which means I am looking about and seeing things around me. I have captured some truly beautiful shots on my phone from my walk to work.
Yes Facebook is great if you want to keep in contact with people. Its great to share things with each other. But on the downside, we probably do spend far too much time looking down. We need to learn to look around us once in a while. I may live in a dank little part of greater London, but there really are some beautiful things out there, you just need to look for them.
I don't see myself going back to Facebook any time soon. Maybe in the distant future. But right now, I am more tempted to delete the app entirely.
