I DELETED Facebook! But it was hard, not because of Facebook, but because of the memories. ๐Ÿ˜”

My Facebook was deactivated by the end of 2019. Now, I have finally DELETED it along with my Messenger. ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

When I was moving my data into my storage, I had to review photos ๐Ÿ“ธ that dated back to the time I created my Facebook account. It was rough. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I realised how much I have grown, how I have changed, and how many silly lapses in judgement I had.

It was a "digital public diary" of myself. Reviewing it and reminiscing about those times made me ask:

"Was I like that? Why did I post that? Why did I say that? To whose benefit?" ๐Ÿค”

My younger self was so immature, very much an attention seeker, and very tactless, always seeking validationโ€”"come look at me." It was hard to watch at first. I went to check my friend list one last time and realised I barely have one thing in common with them. I could no longer relate to them. Only a handful of them I stay in touch with. It is neither good nor bad. It only means I have learned my lessons, and I continue to do so. I have evolved, as has my outlook, my worldview, and how I value true connection. ๐Ÿค๐ŸŒฑ

I'd never say it will be pitch perfect from now on, that there will be no more mistakes or foolishness. I'd say I may have more of it because I have learned to take bigger risks than my younger self. I take life as it comes and do my utmost for whatever comes my way. I live it as if it is my last so I can appreciate it even more. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘Œ

In fact, my new chapter has only begun, and I am excited to find this tribe and have the privilege to share this journey with you. ๐Ÿค—

If you made it this far, thank you for your time, and see you around. โค๏ธ๐Ÿซ‚

Sometimes we have to sacrifice something old to get something new. I lost all my pics on FB, but instead i gained new friends and new memories ๐Ÿ’œ

So true and ๐Ÿ’ฏ spot on. I am sure it will stay with you in memory and neither digital nor physical photo can replace that. ๐Ÿซ‚
