is one of my favorite things.
& the images that the combining of words create in a mind.
oh simple words.
that's what a paper sunset is. it's just a lovely image, disappearing flames and fragile moments.
paper is quite a fragile thing, you know.

it struck me suddenly--as i sat scrolling down my Facebook homepage-- that i was absolutely and horrifically unable to live without Facebook. in fact my mind began imploding in on itself at the very idea of attempting such a thing. without Facebook, i wouldn't have a past anymore, let alone a future, my social life would dwindle, i'd stop getting invited to gatherings, i wouldn't get my daily laugh at a comment gone wrong or absorb my daily necessity of sentimentality and compliments. i could no longer occupy hours of free time creepily stalking strangers, their lives clearily documented in photographs.
after some careful minutes of consideration, i searched for the deactivation option.
(*note deactivation, not deletion. Facebook reassured me that if desperation strikes, i can sneakily re-appear for a few moments, get my fill of the Facebook land and quietly deactivate again.)
after letting me know how much all my friends would miss me, and offering me tips on how to deal with my Facebook addiction, they let me go.
and here i am now, feeling the pangs of withdrawal. i'm not sure how long i am going to be able to do this, even with my friends filling me in on the most interesting tidbits of the day. i guess now, is the time i start pursuing the things i actually love.
we'll see how this goes.
aha. only time will tell.
Tams, your blog is beautiful.
