So why did I chose to delete Facebook?
Because social media takes over my life.
Every spare second of my day goes to checking statuses on FB, looking at photos on Insta, or seeing whose life is on Snap Chat. Every second of my day was consumed of work (which is me resolve problems with workers comp claims),
checking on other's people's lives and news feeds,
and every other excuse to not live my own life.
Yes, I still love people in my lives. Yes, I still love my job and what I do.
But I was spending more time looking at other people's lives, and not living my own.
I was content to live vicariously through social media. I, of course, felt sorry for myself because my life hasn't made as much progress, or isn't as important, or I'm not as successful, and the list of insecurities goes on. It wasn't anything anyone said-solely my own thought processes.
And that's not true! None of this is true!
Each and every one of us is making progress-that is the entirety of our purpose here on earth.
We are all important and worthy children of God.
And we are successful. We chose to come here and gained these bodies, and we are here.
There is so much good in the world, and I want to experience it.
And I don't need a social media site to prove that I'm doing something with my life.
I just need me, and whoever is willing to come along for the ride.
[An update on my life: I work at Cardon Outreach. I am a patient advocate that handles workers comp claims for one of our New York clients. I am active in my YSA ward, and I have a calling as the Compassionate Service Coordinator. I volunteer with the Village Project for the Salt Lake County Juvenile Courts. I am training to run Ragnar Wasatch Back in June. I will attend SLCC in the fall. I'm still very single, and I attend the temple weekly.]
For those who miss my positive posts on the FB-here will be your uplifting vibes from yours truly.
So please, share away for those who don't have my blog saved.
And maybe if I start losing weight and sticking to my attempts at lifestyle changes, I'll post that progress too.
Mostly, this is just my life and my journey to loving myself and living the life I was given.
