Face-Off
“Please let us know why you are deactivating (required).” After one late night of procrastinating too many, I let go. I had been thinking about it for a while but one morning as I flipped back and forth between Facebook and a project with an impending deadline I pushed myself to quit. Facebook is resulting […]
