It's official. My hatred of facebook has grown exponentially over the last few weeks and today I deactivated my account. Looking back I created my facebook account to connect with my cousins in Kansas who were ripped from our home 6 years ago. Ironically it was one of my Kansas cousins who put me over the edge and helped me make my final decision to close the facebook chapter of my life.
My cousin, who just turned 18 a few days ago, just announced on facebook that she is pregnant with her 2nd child. Oh yes, #2 and she just turned 18. She had her daughter at 16 while still in high school and then quickly dropped out of school. I am so sad to see her life turn out like this and repeat so many of her father's mistakes. Every child is a blessing from God. I hope she takes those sweet lives and helps make them into beautiful, wonderful people in this crazy world.
With wanting a child of our own so badly and seeing so many pregnancy announcements, sonogram photos and "my baby is the size of a small fruit" posts put me over the edge.
Good bye facebook. I will not miss you.
