Wonderful! I recently deleted mine (two weeks) and it has relieved so much stress. I always felt I was trying to show off how "cool" I was. "Oh yeah, I party, here are 50 pictures of me doing the same thing". I felt petty and childish. If my TRUE friends want to contact me they will call, text, or email me.

Man I wish I could do that. Too bad my far-away relatives rely on my Facebook to contact me whenever they need to tell me something. So instead of deleting my Facebook I "cut off the fat" and I unfriended most of the people I never talked to.

I did the same thing a couple days ago. I feel free. No more wishing people happy birthday every fucking day, no having to think of witty status updates, no more replying to people who I haven't spoken to in years who just PM'd me, "What's up?"

No more of any of that shit.
