The Social Networking Drug

Remember NOMOPHOBIA?

Well I am using this post as as my unofficial  FBA meeting (Facebookaholics Anonymous), I am admitting to overdosing, being addicted to and abusing FB to the point that my life is at risk - career, writing, mental health etc. Yes I admit. We all have addictions, examine your life closely.

Anyway I tried just lessening the use of, monitoring myself, but then my phone would show me I had comments! Or I would stalk the "frenemy" (The friend who is not a friend but an enemy). My writing was becoming into trolling around FB for information... whatever it was unhealthy, now I am stopping it. When i get back maybe I'll delete a bunch of people I keep around for good grief knows what! It's just not healthy. I know some people who are addicted to twitter, constantly twitter updating, or the text-a-holics, there are workaholics, adrenalin junkies... (maybe some of these are better than the rest of the addictions out there, but don't fool yourself, it IS unhealthy too).

Balance.

The Middle Path.

That is the keyword for all these addictions, if you can not balance, then eliminate it entirely.
I think I can learn to balance eventually. For now I am going into my own rehab and just letting go of Facebook. May I be more productive. May I live more. May I be more present.

Love.

Breathe

How many of us waste time on this? How many of us are addicted? Sure it helped the Jasmine revolution etc. but I suffer... do you?

So many people... so many people... so many lives... so much information...

Try Love Instead

What do you gain from hate and war?
Nothing, Nothing at all.
Why do you hate, what is it for?
Question deeply before you fall.

Hate leads you to a dark deep pit,
Where your heart will sink and sit.
You lose your light, you lose your friends,
You lose every hope of making amends.

Why do you hate and cause unrest?
You lose all peace of mind to stress.
If anything this is a test
To free your soul, your heart from this mess.

You bear a grudge, and close off your mind,
Do you know that is very unkind?
Unkind, not to others, but to yourself
Because in the end, you're the one that needs help.

Open your eyes and see
The beauty in the world through diversity.
Open you heart and feel
That circle of love will grow and heal.

You miss this chance when you hate and fight,
To love everyone with all your might.
The more you give the more you get,
Just change your heart and your mindset.

Try love instead,
Get negativity out of your head.
Let the toxic out of your heart,
Make room for a fresh and positive start.

Its really not difficult to do,
All you have to let go of what's bothering you.
Look deep inside and see,
The person and things I hated, were in me.
Learn to grow and be strong,
And then with other's you will find no more wrong.



I know all this is real and so true,
What I know even more, is that I love you!
