I was on Twitter for about 3 years. A few days ago I took a deep breath and deactivated my account. It was that hard to do. I had gotten so used to checking in on Twitter throughout the day; while playing with L, while he was napping, while cooking, and late at night in bed. It was too much.
Sounds crazy huh! But it got to be very overwhelming last weekend and I needed to step back and focus on other things happening around me. Take more time to read, blog, watch movies and play with L while focusing 100% on him.
That said I do miss it. I miss the interactions, the instantaneous connection with someone when you tweet out something that’s bugging you. It’s a world of instant gratification right at your fingertips. Now I laugh because there’s so many moments during the day when something happens or I have a thought and I wonder who can i share it with? Like this morning while watching CBC Kids, on their KidCanada segment I swear I heard them say one of the kid’s name’s was Dude! Dude! But I just chuckled to myself and moved on.
I miss the #zombiemoms group immensely! They were a group of women, and men too probably, all over the world who banded together to talk about anything baby related or parenting woes or anything else. It was nice having that connection.
I’m sure somewhere down the line I may rejoin again. Promise not to get sucked in all over again though!
I hope you do join again! I constantly check it too, but I’ve been making more of a deliberate effort to stop being on there so much. It is nice to have those friends there for the times that I can’t leave the house!
