I DELETED Facebook! But it was hard, not because of Facebook, but because of the memories. 😔

My Facebook was deactivated by the end of 2019. Now, I have finally DELETED it along with my Messenger. 🗑️

When I was moving my data into my storage, I had to review photos 📸 that dated back to the time I created my Facebook account. It was rough. 😬😮‍💨

I realised how much I have grown, how I have changed, and how many silly lapses in judgement I had.
It was a "digital public diary" of myself. Reviewing it and reminiscing about those times made me ask:
"Was I like that? Why did I post that? Why did I say that? To whose benefit?" 🤔

My younger self was so immature, very much an attention seeker, and very tactless, always seeking validation—"come look at me." It was hard to watch at first. I went to check my friend list one last time and realised I barely have one thing in common with them. I could no longer relate to them. Only a handful of them I stay in touch with. It is neither good nor bad. It only means I have learned my lessons, and I continue to do so. I have evolved, as has my outlook, my worldview, and how I value true connection. 🤝🌱

I'd never say it will be pitch perfect from now on, that there will be no more mistakes or foolishness. I'd say I may have more of it because I have learned to take bigger risks than my younger self. I take life as it comes and do my utmost for whatever comes my way. I live it as if it is my last so I can appreciate it even more. 🙏👌

In fact, my new chapter has only begun, and I am excited to find this tribe and have the privilege to share this journey with you. 🤗

If you made it this far, thank you for your time, and see you around. ❤️🫂
