So maybe you have been thinking about shutting down your Facebook account. Its a big change in a way, and yet also one of the easiest shifts that i have made from something that i have used every day to nothing at all.. I would have expected to miss it a bit more to be honest, or to have some kind of craving or desire to see what was going on there.. but you know what, no. .. really not,, nothing.. Its like dropping a stone out of the window.. its just gone and that's that!
One of the reasons i closed my account was because i was really getting very frustrated with this feeling that I had to try to make other people see and understand what I see and understand. YOu know, all that covid stuff, all this government conspiracy stuff, and so much more.. but it was one of the most unrewarding things i have done. I was always met with total negativity, and more often than not quite ridiculous comments that usually had nothing to do with the fact of what i was saying.. More often than not people would just drop stupid irrelevant links to articles that they expected me to start reading even though they were really nothing to do with what i was trying to share.. and almost NO ONE ever actually was able to comment or have a rational discussion about anything i said. Polarised is the word, and frustrating beyond belief.
In fact, it was all starting to take a big toll on my mental health. I just couldn't really believe that most of my old friends were so blind to certain things.. really truly in denial.. If i would share something that utterly proved what they were saying wrong then they would just ignore it completely.. No one is open minded. No one wants to even THINK about reassessing their views or ideas. It's just a total waste of time.
So by turning my Facebook off i have really allowed myself a relax a bit more. I no longer have to try to convince anyone of anything, and this is a real relief! It's all just gone, and theres now no noise or background fuzz happening. I no longer have to see a thousand ads, or ridiculous memes of fake news. I no longer have to wonder who is fact checking all that junk, and certainly don't have to worry about being judged and ridiculed by people who think that voting for centralised governments is the only way to live our lives. Man, just thinking about how people trust their leaders just makes me want to scream! But now i can just let that go.
So id also like to share that i have not given up, far from it! There is another place that i like, that i think is even more influential than Facebook, or even the Internet. Ive written about it a few times, and I call it the Inner-net. The inner-net is that place that we are all connected on. Its like a grid, a collective consciousness, and we are all tied to each other on it. Maybe for some people this is some kind of theory or idea, but to me its real, completely real and it works. Its also SO much easier to use, and much much less frustrating.
The way it works is that I just have to hold my knowing in my heart and mind as a feeling. I hold my truth and i do not speak it. I dont not need to write about it, and i do not need to push it onto anyone! I just hold it inside very quietly, a bit like a secret.
That knowing, that feeling, that knowledge passes through the entire Innernet, and it has an effect on everyone, everywhere far and wide. We are all connected to this Innernet, and once you become aware of it you can also give and take from it. As more and more people become ready, they are able to receive this knowledge, instantaneously. If they are not ready then they simply block it out. In this way we each receive the information that we are ready to hear, and there is no need to push it, or try to make other people WAKE UP! I dont think anyone who was shouted at to WAKE UP ever changed their minds about anything. What a total frustration..
SO, i am really happy to say that all that crap is behind me, and even though i definitely am dealing with a lot of heavy and challenging emotions and feelings right now, none of them are relating to other people or my frustrations about them thinking a certain way about this or that. How cool is that!
So, if you have been thinking about shutting down your Facebook account, id definitely recommend you do it. You don't have to delete it entirely, you can just DEACTIVATE it so that you do disappear but if you log back in again it will all come back. Also its worth mentioning that even if you do deactivate it you can still receive messages on your phone app, so you aren't totally cut off!
Of course the option to deactivate your account is hard to find, so here is how to do if if you would like to try.
Now you can go do something less boring instead! :)
Happy days to you all! <3 x
