"Close some doors today, not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere" - Paul Coelho

I have officially deactivated my Facebook account because:

  • Don't find it useful, actually never found it useful. I created one when I was leaving the Middle East and some friends wanted to keep in touch. So we had but now we have lost it, each of us has entered our own new world to touch. The rest are just memories that we can't keep talking over and over again. The cards have been overridden, with marriages, newborns, deaths, holidays, and new life.


  • Don't have more friends than ever. God has created a path for each of us to walk, some will cross to one another once or twice, others should have not crossed ever and again. Facebook has interfered with God's plan. On Facebook people started looking for those whom they should not see again and so did I. Yes, I was happy to find them but then I realised how less we had in common. Our paths have intertwined at different levels so there was no other choice but to continue.


  • Friends mean more that acquaintances. When I met them in real life and accepted their requests, I would like them to be my friends. Thus I invited them to my house warming and opened my door to other occasions. It was funny when some translated it as hanging out with alcohol, cigarettes, talking about the same sh*t over and over again. Or when some talked to me on Facebook but ignored me in the real world. How weird is that?


  • Too much information. Too much self-aggrandising. Too many pictures. Too many selfies. Too boring.
