Day 13: I Broke-up with Social Media

So, this past week (maybe it's been longer than that) I decided to break-up with Facebook.  I have a few other apps - Instagram, Pinterest, and Youtube that are also on my, "I need to take a break from you, list."  Why did I do this?  Well, there is a myriad of reasons, but the most of which was where my sanity is concerned.  I'm not sure if you've had the unfortunate opportunity of seeing your newsfeed packed full of all the vile, bitter, hateful political rantings made be those who do not share the same viewpoints as you.  I know many people lost "friends" over this period of time, I use quotation marks because true friends stick around. In fact, some of us have even had family members block us.  Eh...whatever!!!   But, even with all that angsty drama, there was a significantly more prominent reason I've taken the much-needed sabbatical. Have you ever had the pleasure of being so proud of something, you couldn't wait to share it with someone?...
