Hello people, I hope the new year is starting well for everyone! Some pictures from last year (taken with a camera that's not mine) to get back in touch with you. There might be less posts these days/weeks as I am trying to define who I am, why I blog and what I want to say in this space. I am also working on the design of my website. This is big, and I feel like I have been there for months, or even years. But, I haven't got an answer yet, so I persist. I hope to be able to show you something soon, and hope I'll be able to find what I'm looking for. Might talk about it later again.
On my quest to find what I want, I have found what I don't want: clutter + too much social media crap (am I allowed to say 'crap' here? yes). So, I have deleted my Facebook account. Completely. It's gone. Poof. The layout and overall design of this website hurt my eyes, and I feel completely overwhelmed with all the actions/apps you can have there, it is too much for me. I feel relieved. I'll now stick with Twitter, which is so light and simple in comparison. And you can customise colours and background for God's sake.
So now the 2 places to find me at are this blog (hello!) and Twitter.
I'm curious: how do you feel about social media websites? Which one(s) do you use mostly?
(Have a great day!)

Dear Flora! bonne année 2012! i was trying to find your page on FB right now, and i thougt it's some "while mistake", that i couldn't open it! but here i found the answer! AS IT'S YOUR CHOICE IT CAN'T BE WRONG! im going to watch your blog and twitter, it's still possible, thanks God, for God sake ;-))
ReplyDeletehi flora.
ReplyDeletecouldn't actually agree more. decluttering frees the mind, and a free mind is what we want, after all.
lovely blog you're keeping, btw.
n♥
I too only use Twitter. Everything else is too much noise to me.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find what you're looking for soon. Happy New Year!
Bonne année!
ReplyDeleteJe me suis aussi défait de Facebook... pour la 2e fois!
Ça fait du bien!
everyone > thank you for your wishes and support! Happy decluttered New Year :)
ReplyDeleteI find myself growing more and more tired of facebook with each update they make! I agree, much too cluttered. But sadly, I don't think I will ever quit as it is the main social media site used by my friends. I tried Google+ for a bit but there wasn't enough of my network on there for it to be worth it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I really like the simplicity of your current blog layout :) Just the perfect amount of whimsy. Good luck with the update!
I despise Facebook, too. It's aestically unappealing and kills creativity if you ask me. Unfortunately, I have too many friends that use it. Lately, I have only used it to share my blog on my page. Maybe, people will get the hint and check out my blog first. I don't think so...people have become too lazy!
