i just deactivated my facebook account. i feel like i need a break from being connected to a network where people don't need to really know people they're friends with. People share so much about themselves and it makes it easy for other people to find things out about them without putting forth the effort of talking to them. i think facebook is great, don't get me wrong, but i'm going to take a much needed break from it.
there is also a freedom that comes from not having it. i don't know how to explain it, but i know it exists. i wish i lived in simpler times. times when technology wasn't such a big part of society. i love technology, but i feel like it's making life too easy for people. i don't know what i'm saying really. this is a quote from the movie Easy A:
"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."
this is such a random post and it probably doesn't make sense. but that's ok.
but overall i just wish that life could be different. that's too much to ask so i'll just live with how it is at the moment.
