The author chose to deactivate their Facebook account due to feeling overwhelmed and drained by the constant barrage of information and curated happiness.
The decision was made to reclaim productivity, focus on personal interests, and dedicate more time to reading and learning in their new career as a freelancer.
The deactivation is also seen as a way to embrace a more low-key lifestyle, have greater privacy, and find more peace by reducing notifications and social media noise.
While the author will still use other platforms, they intend to do so with mindfulness and intentionality, aiming to connect more deeply with the real world.
