So two major things that are happening right now:

One, i de-activated my Facebook account
Two, i'm going to NZ tomorrow

I feel so much better without Facebook. I know that de-activating Facebook is equivalent to death nowadays. Without an online presence, you're basically nothing. But i'm sick of seeing other people's 'stuff', you know? It's like mind contamination for me. I only want certain people in my life and having facebook is like having a million people barge in on your day even though they have a total right to post whatever they want on their feed. I dunno how long i'll be able to last without it, but I feel like my life is much quieter without it. Facebook feels like a city full of flashing lights, demanding your attention to read this, buy this, pay attention to this. I want to just be in my own bubble for now. I know i'll probably go back when i'm not feeling so emotionally fragile.

 I'm not that excited about going to NZ but it will be cool to go on a plane. No matter how close another country is, if you go on a plane and cross the sea, then you're technically going overseas. I guess it will be cool to be faraway from home and to have a small breather before starting a new year.
