Free

I just deleted my Pinterest account.

I feel so free.

When I signed up for Pinterest almost a year ago, it was a fun hobby, although I spent way too much time on it. Over the past year, it's become more and more of a burden and a waste of time.

Finally I chose to acknowledge that it was not in line with the person that I wanted to be. I was not becoming a better person because of it. The time that I was spending on Pinterest could have been invested in practicing piano, reading classics, or spending time with my family. I finally admitted that my 3,000+ pins were not an accomplishment, but a gallery of fake trophies, images that weren't of any real value to me.

So I took the first step, and uninstalled the app from my phone. That was all that I was planning to do for now, but it felt so good that I knew I could go ahead and finish it off. So I deleted the account. And I feel SO FREE. I feel wonderful.
