keeping up with the "it's"

.....does that about cover it? My head is spinning from all of IT!!! 

I can't keep up. Seriously! I feel like I have to comment, like, retweet, share, and follow on every single media one person does so feelings don't get hurt, people don't feel left out, blah blah blah. It's insane! It's time consuming, and it's a bit out of control. (Am I alone in this??)

Yes, I Twitter.
Yes, I Facebook (not nearly like I used to!)
Yes, I Instagram (I'm a picture junky for certain)
Yes, I have Pinterest (that I rarely use)
Yes, I blog (occasionally)
Yes, I have a Klout account (although I have no idea why or what it's purpose is!)

What it comes down to, is this: I flat out just don't care about any of the "stats" that go with it all. It doesn't measure who I am. It doesn't make me any more or any less important. It doesn't actually make a difference in my life.  

So, that's why I am going to stop with all the madness,  and recenter.
My identity is not in social media. 
It's not measured by any score. 
It has zero to do with followers or likes. 

To be quite frank...I'm just too old for it! It feels like an online popularity/pissing contest between friends and acquaintances that is so far out of my comfort zone, that I'd rather not have any clue. 

So, I'm gonna go crawl back under my rock, that is in my little black hole, and be oblivious. (and no, that doesn't mean I'm not staying connected, but it does mean I'm taking the pressure off to keep up with everything!)



**If you need me I'll be on Pinterest trying to find some decorating ideas to spruce up my black hole--I'll tweet or instagram the ideas, which I hope you like or follow and then turn into a blog which will hopefully increase my Klout.
