My Social Media-less Life

After posting my last blog post earlier this week, I thought about the fact that many of my posts have talked more about my grieving process over losing social media or my grieving process over other things or just grieving in general.

That wasn’t why I started this blog, I promise.

I had expected things to be hard, sure. And I had expected there to be some grieving, but I didn’t expect there to be so much grieving or so many things changing in such a short amount of time.

It’s funny when seasons start changing for people, it’s rarely just in one area. More often than not, it’s in all of them at once.

It’s always been like that for me, anyway.

Remember that Directive I said I got recently? That was about aspects of my job. Specifically, pet-sitting or the lack thereof that I will be doing.

So I’m guessing that means I’ll continue cleaning, but it will be easier for me to focus on that since I won’t be dividing my time quite so much.

Since I love animals and have developed as much of a relationship with them as they have with me, it was very hard for me to write the letter telling my clients that’s something I will no longer be doing.

In all, this blog is not only not about me, but it’s about learning to deal with grief in all the forms it comes in. This blog is about growing up.

And I thought it was just going to be a fun blog where I updated people on my life without social media. How silly of a notion that was.

On that note, you’ll be amused to know that I still think of things to post on social media from time to time and then catch myself saying, “Nope, that’s not going anywhere except to the back of my brain.”

If it’s really good, I’ll share it with a friend or two, but by and large, my pithy social media posts just disappear from my mind and the longer ones either become journal entries for me or blog posts for you depending on what the Lord says. 😉

That’s all for now. Have a great day!
