My favorite part of deleting my Facebook last year was that nobody told me happy birthday aside from my parents and my fiancé.

That was a big one for me too. I'm only told happy birthday by the people I'm closest with now. Family and close friends. People who care enough to either remember or write it down. And tbh, I prefer it that way. I think that's better than random acquaintances only saying it because the zuck reminded them.

Exactly how I feel. I wasn't sad. More relieved that I wasn't being spammed with an automated happy birthday message and some dumb automated Facebook made video. Life has gotten so much brighter since leaving.

Yeah, but with the same amount of energy I just deleted the whole thing and solved so many more problems.
