Personal Facebook Account Just Deactivated

I am a very sociable person. That's one of my characteristics. I love communicating and that's one of the reasons why I took BA Communication Arts.


I love to talk and express myself. Admittedly, I fully utilize the social networks to vent out my thoughts. And yes, throughout the years, I have so much enjoyed FACEBOOK.


Never did a day pass by that I didn't open my facebook account. It is through here that I share what happen to me everyday by status updates, pictures and videos. It is also my channel to connect with the friends that I haven't seen for so long and also my way to make my friends feel that I am just here either by simply clicking LIKE to their updates or by commenting on their posts.


Truly, Facebook is one of the best social networks ever made in history. To some, it is a "therapy" where they can release emotions. It is really a sort of relief when you express what you have inside, then you feel like the whole world is there to listen to you since a lot of your friends will know what you are undergoing through. But then, facebook has also been a way to "invade privacy". If you aren't careful enough to secure your privacy settings, then everyone (even those you don't know) will be updated of your whole life and it might be a threat to your security. Facebook has also been a medium to ruin relationships. And I am a victim of these things.


Just recently, I discovered that I got a poser in this social network wherein the poser used my married name. I wasn't even able to use that in my personal account because I am not informed that there is a limit in changing names and I already reached the maximum. Then this poser used pictures of my bestfriend and put captions that to those who don't know me will think that there was really something in us. 


Also, some of my relationships with other people related to me were ruined because of facebook due to misunderstandings and indifferent language games. Some of them thought that I was so "maarte" because I even posed random pictures of mine in an ordinary day like  what I eat, how I live, etc. Some also thought that I was taking sides in an issue of a family wherein I just tried to connect with people. My status updates were misunderstood because  some assumed that I was posting that to make "parinig" to someone.


I am so sick of those issues and I only want a peaceful life with my family.


And I am now proud to say that I did it--- I already deactivated my personal facebook account. Some has long believed that I can't do it because they know that it has been my life, but now, I DID IT! Though I know that sooner or later I'm gonna re-activate it (however, I'll make sure that my list of friends doesn't anymore contain fake friends) but then I'm still proud that I had the courage to click the button DEACTIVATE :-)




DISCLAIMER: Yes, even if I deactivated my personal account, I have already created a joint account for my husband and I. But that account is only intended to be kept for close and trusted friends to avoid irritable issues :-)
