Down

About a year and a half, or maybe two years ago now; someone hacked my instagram account (which I barely used) and did some bad things while I slept. I had my facebook and instagram connected. So when I woke up in the morning, my facebook account, filled with years and years of memories, was gone.

I begged and pleaded with Facebook to give it back. They never gave me a chance. And I had my blog Facebook account connected only to that personal account as an admin. I never got that back either.

At first I wasn’t going to start a new blog page. Then I did. And now, I’m going to kill it. It only has 9 likes and 16 followers. I think everyone there is friends with my personal account. And from my blog’s analytics, the majority of my traffic isn’t Facebook.

It’s not a lot to have the extra page. And I tried for a bit to share a few more things there. Really though, my blog’s purpose is the daily thankful. And honestly, every night when I write my blog and go to that page to share the blog, it is like a little needs stab with the numbers; and the fact that there is my old account that had grown a bit, just sitting there wasting away.

Tonight I am thankful for the decision to end a task that doesn’t take a lot of time; but doesn’t bring me joy. On the contrary, it feels like one more thing to do and a reminder of something I fought for (my old page) and lost.
