DA #5: Temporarily Deactivating Facebook

There comes a point when you slowly start to lose faith in humanity.  It's a scary feeling- especially when it happens in your religious institution.  I don't want to sit here and bash anyone for saying the disgusting things they've said, yet I can't help but wonder how people can feel so negatively towards other human beings.  It has been instilled in us by society to pass judgement on any individual who is different from ourselves.  But it scares me when people can't look past these differences and see the beautiful souls roaming around.

This week has been an emotional roller coaster for me.  Mainly thanks to my hormones, but also very much based on the situations I've found myself in.  I decided to take a break from non-intimate contact with other people.  My Facebook has been deactivated for now.  It's been about 24 hours since doing so, but I actually feel a bit freer.  I'm not entirely sure why, but it feels wonderful.

And all I want to do is post a status about how great I feel after doing so...
