Long, and when I’m tired, there is no stopping from mindlessly scrolling through Facebook. But I get better at stopping the madness 😆

When the last presidential election came around and I saw all the hate and stress in the rhetoric and posts, I disconnected. I still dabble, but for information; not for any regular activity.

Well, I never actually felt like being connected to other people through social media but still it took me quite a whole to disconnect though I still use WhatsApp on almost regular basis but the other forms of social media are completely disconnected. I always felt like I was getting all unnecessary information that will be of no use to me at all. It almost nearly been a month if I remember correctly.
