To quote a &#8220;almost 14&#8221; year old &#8220;you lived without Facebook before right? I think you&#8217;ll live through this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m actually surprised at some of the reactions I did receive. Many we&#8217;re very concerned. I must admit, that after reading a recent post, Facebook is a good tool. I may not have known that a friend was in the hospital had it not been for Facebook. But what did we do before Facebook? Or let me ask another question. I&#8217;m only doing this through lent. What about those who are stationed in the desert? Those with no Internet connection? Are people surprised they are not on Facebook? How about people who live in the states but don&#8217;t use Facebook?<\/p>\n<p>Technology has changed the world, there is no doubt about it. For me Facebook has been a good outlet for sharing all parts of my life including things people didn&#8217;t want to know. I guess Facebook has become a way of life for many. I&#8217;m sure I will miss photos and comments. But if I were in the military, I wouldn&#8217;t have that either. In fact if I were homeless, I would have no idea what is happening with anyone in my life or even in my own neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>In short I would have to say, it&#8217;s not that big of a deal. Although I may think differently by Easter. There is still the phone, texting and email. It&#8217;s not like I lost all forms of communication. Facebook, is just an instant form of communication. Unfortunately, that&#8217;s what we all look for now. Quick answers however, does not always provide the best answer.<\/p>\n<p>Journaling this will help me see whats important to me. I will learn new ways to use my time more productively. In fact I truly hope I can learn how to make &#8220;the tree of life&#8221; pendant I saw, finish two pixel art projects, finish  bracelet for the child I mentor, and many more items for a Christmas bazaar on campus, in December. Not to mention keeping up with the daily things life brings.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time have a great life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclaimer:auto post to Facebook.
