If I could post Facebook status updates...

It has been nearly a month since I left social media. I feel like an alcoholic at an AA meeting.

Hi...my name is Eden..it has been almost a month since my last post.

I am going through kind of a withdrawal. I got a sick high from people who would like my posts enough to "like" them, or comment. During the time I have been off, some things have popped into my head that I would have posted as as status updates:

• I speak fluent bullshit.
• On my walk, I have passed by the same pile of dog barf for the last two weeks.
• Can I raise my debt ceiling?
• Had a nice time seeing some former classmates at the Hillsboro Market.
• I've lost 15 pounds since I started using "my fitness pal" an iPhone app, last November.
• I'm getting ready to do Portland Brain Tumor Walk again.

Still, I want to stay away from social media. Lots of communication, but most of it gets lost in translation.
