Over the last week, I have learnt a lot more about the type of person I wish to become. 2015 will be the year of yoga, fitness, nonviolent activism/communication, meeting new people and making lots of friends, away from the computer and my smart phone. If I met you here on Facebook and we formed a bond, I obviously have no regrets about doing so & will be meeting as many of you as possible, however, I just dont feel the desire to have 1000s of Facebook friends. I crave real connection and a genuine dialogue which will challenge me to be a better communicator. I strongly believe in the power of healthy relationships and togetherness and so it is time for me to do more about it and become a real active player in our whole community. I will be deleting this account soon and may create a fresh one in some time to come (I havent decided yet.) I am in no rush to slam the virtual door on Facebook, as I wish to gain the details of anyone who would like to maintain a friendship with me in real life :) There are many wonderful aspects to online connection. Knowledge is growing at such a fast rate. However, I believe that we could do even better without the selfies & the constant gratification we receive when people compliment us all the time - Or the negativity we allow ourselves to feel when someone disagrees with us. I do believe that if we could participate in one anothers lives, rather than just have online opinions about said lives, that perhaps we could close many more gaps. Facebook had its purpose, but now it has become like television, only more self focused. It distracts me. It manipulates my mood. It tells me who I should be & it rarely gives me the level of insight I need to truly help all others. Love to you all.
