Fridays are for Finders Keepers
Letting go is hard. Especially for me, since I'm nostalgic as the day is long. I hold on, I dig in, I refuse to let go in most situations. I'll suffer silently if it means making someone else happy, until I've had enough and I lose my cool and snap.
I've been struggling a lot with the idea of losing social media. It honestly feels like an addiction, not having to scroll aimlessly through the little looking glass. What do you do with the extra hour of your day that isn't spent scrolling? I've started stretching and reading and doing little mini workouts at the end of the day, but I still get sucked into the 2 minute secret check. Instagram was easy to let go of, but Facebook has been the hardest - I want to see the little moments in people's days. I want the satisfaction of knowing what's going on. Letting go of that has been harder than I ever anticipated - so much of our lives and our communication between each other is on social media. Curiously enough, people that I used to talk to daily I haven't heard from in a number of weeks because FB was easy. It's an easy out that takes literally no effort.
I haven't quit cold turkey, and I still fall into the trap, but I think I'm doing good at curbing the addiction. It'll be easy next week when I'm away for work and I can fill my evenings with the hot tub and pool in our hotel. Or spend an hour or two reading a book without any distractions.
Finders keepers, I'm keeping the bar of chocolate I found at work and I'm going to savour every bite of it. It's been a week from hell. Still breathing, I'll take that as a win.
