I said this about five minutes ago in the hallway. And about three seconds ago during prayer in World Religions, I realized why.

It's all way too intensive and easy to look into other people's life. And having the convenience of instant communication makes comparing my life to others' easier than it should be. That fact is making me depressed, and I'm not going to let that happen anymore. I'm considering disbanding my Facebook for a while and focusing on things that make me happy. Bike rides. Independence. Chocolate ice cream. Boys. Girls. Fun. I'm going to find things I already have that make me smile, not look at how other's are happier than I am.
If I disappear for a while, that's why. I'm off riding my bike. :]

"Then, all of a sudden, something very spooky started happening. Every time I came to the end of a block and stepped off the goddam curb, I had this feeling that I’d never get to the other side of the street. I thought I’d just go down, down, down, and nobody’d ever see me again."
