It's one of those things. Where the fear of facing your opposition exponentially gets worse with every day you avoid it.
My opposition? This blog.
Yep, I said it. It came out of nowhere, a whirlwind of extenuating circumstances that initially kept me away. Then it started snowballing, and I got as close to completely signing offline as I have in the past 5 years. Soon, I was scared to sign on and see what I missed. This finally led to acceptance and then empowerment. I knew what was going on in the world because I watched CNBC, not from status updates on Facebook! I only had to hear about Charlie Sheen occasionally, not constantly as a #trendingtopic. [#winning became more irritating than Chuck Norris jokes- if you don't know what I'm talking about read this.]
So here I am, at my current point. Where I'm checking back into the social networking scene because I feel like I have too. I'm scared I missed a message, post, or tweet that would have seriously changed my life.
I didn't. [One of the most interesting/ironic things I found during my catch up session: social media's plateau.]
