Beautifully stated Christine, I too have a FB page and if I look at it once a year it’s a lot, all of my friends from the film 🎥 business, friends that I worked with for 30 years use it to stay in touch with each other, my family does the same. I get 10-20 alerts every day, none of which I look 👀 at, has that diminished my life, I have no doubt, I miss all of the contact which you so eloquently wrote about, but I can be a hard man and enriching MZ is something I have been loath to do, even if it comes at a cost. I may change that stance, not to communicate like I do here and on Heather’s substack page, but to be able to share the work I’m doing which is some of the best of my life, my daughters both think 💭 I need to do that, they are helping me build a website to that end, and FB would help immeasurably despite my distaste, so as uncomfortable as it makes me it looks like I will be getting more involved with FB. I see it as dancing with the devil, as the song says “hang on loosely and don’t let go, if you cling too tightly you’ll loose control”, that’s how I remember it anyhow.
Understand. I had same feelings when my daughter and niece built my website and fb page for first my blog and then my website. I looked at it as , good, as long as I am using it and refusing to let an “it” use me.
Hope to see your new work. Isn’t TC something? Amaze Substack.
