Facebook Has Condensed My Creativity

I can't believe I haven't thought of a single thing to write about in over a year. That is unbelievable as I am normally so verbose! The truth is that I have thought of things nearly everyday, sometimes two and three times a day. The sad fact is that they have been condensed to short thoughts with minimal characters. You see, facebook, the social networking sight that is so great at keeping us all together in this modern world, is also stealing my creativity.
Day after day I find myself having long, drawn out, prose worthy thoughts. Day after day I find myself attempting to shorten those quips into a few short sentences. More than once after an inability to self edit, I have done the unthinkable, I hit delete. So what does this say about me? What does this say about our culture? Heaven help me if I imbibed in Twitter! I shudder to think! My brain chemistry would be permanently altered!
I used to always sit and dwell, some would say stew with my own thoughts. Many times those thoughts would be too big and would need to find their way into the written word. It was a release, a catharsis. Now, I find myself venting in short bursts, which allows the cyber world into my head and allows for quick bursts of steam to escape as friends share in my daily woes and triumphs. But I wonder, with all this sharing am I allowing too much of myself to be let go. It is great to have worries, fears, triumphs and proud moments passed along amongst friends. The burden is lifted the pride is boosted for us all. The thing is, without all that simmering, is our collective pot becoming a little bland? Could it use a little more time on the fire before you let someone into taste? Would it do better if you took it off the heat, let it cool in your mind and then fired it back up the next day?
This instantaneous world doesn't allow for that. Ultimately, I guess each generation finds their palate has changed. I just wonder, will we ever be able to recognize the benefit of simplicity again, or we always just crave newer, better faster each day in our lives. I certainly hope to allow room for creativity back in. Of course, I hope it also doesn't require too much heat to get the juices flowing.
