Making a break for it

About 10 years ago I left Facebook and have never looked back. It had been my sole foothold in social media and near the end I had found its vapidness to be excruciating. People looking for validation by publishing vacations, graduations and the contents of their breakfast proved too much for me to bear.

Of late I am seeing the odd video of young people make a clean break of it as well and state they feel so much better. The constant barrage of pablum is wiped away and they begin to focus on their lives without comparing themselves to anyone else.

What a novel idea.
