Im about to get serious here & not everyones gonna like it but oh well... this will be long by the way. I was born in 1991 so I know what its like to be happy without the internet (or lack of) without facebook, without social media, etc...There are those out there who enjoy facebook for many reasons and I understand that. Im pretty sure the main idea of it was to connect with people (I think it started out college students?) and has obviously expanded to older generations, and even young generations (Like seriously, what 8 year old needs a facebook?!) I blab on and on AND ON AND ON about how Im gonna quit facebook.. blah blah blah, then were like ah theyll be back because you know what? Its true. We end up coming back. Its like a bad accident. You dont necessarily wanna be there, but you cant help but go back because you get curious...or maybe you just like being in the moment (in your mind more or less) Instead of being a hypocrite like I do almost all the freaking time, Im just gonna say what Ill say. I am going to deactivate my FaceBook. I realize there are people who cannot get in contact with someone because they dont have a phone or whatever...if you have internet, you should be able to use e-mail. Even if its a g-mail or yahoo, I dont care. If you want to keep in touch, there are three options: Text my phone/call me... e-mail me... or -drum roll- WRITE ME LETTERS. Like back in the old day. I realize that technology is a big part of our world, and I have to come to terms with that because its the truth. I like it at times, while others... I really hate it. Theres no privacy anymore, people post shit about everything and anything they can... like what happened to our actual lives? Living on Facebook 24/7 is not a life, people. Im sorry to say (well Im really not sorry) Keeping people updated on how kids are doing, jobs, etc... thats all fine and dandy if you like that - but when I was younger I didnt need to tell everyone when Im going to the mall.. that I just got out of a relationship... Im about to eat lunch in 30 minutes and 20 minutes after that I should have a proper bowel movement because I ate a bunch of fiber. Obviously Im a culprit of this so I will not say Im perfect & all that stuff...(not the bowel movement but hopefully you get what Im saying) they say if you cant beat em, join em. Well I say if you cant beat em, you cant get out of the vicious cycle that is technology, then you need to change something for yourself instead of revolving around everyone else. How will you be happy for YOURSELF if you live for everyone else? We make so many promises to people because we care about them - the reality is we have to do whats best for us. Not saying we cant help others, but dont make everyone your priority. Be your priority until you can truly help others in ways that youll be happy with the results knowing you can do what you say youll do. A lot of people on my Facebook dont even talk to me! Or I dont talk to them. Is it because I dislike them? No. If I didnt like you, I wouldnt accept your friend requests. Well ya know what? How many of us really know each other? Or how often do we really talk? Take this personally or not, but Im really not targeting people. Being 1,000 miles away makes it a lot harder to talk to people especially because Ive made such a huge change in my life that was easier in some aspects, as well as being really hard. I cant keep in touch with everyone 24/7 otherwise I would never get anything else done. Time is truly a valuable thing... I may still be young, but I feel like Ive wasted so much of it worrying about stupid things such as social media, worrying what people think about me, etc. There I go rambling again. If you would truly like to keep in touch with me, send me a message if you want my e-mail, phone number or address to keep in touch. (Obviously if I dont really know you Ill more than likely give you my e-mail ... why have everyone know where you live/know your phone number when you dont really KNOW them?) This is a two way road, so you are not the only one who has to keep in touch with me. I will be going through my list and try to get to people I would love to keep in touch - if youre worried that I wont get in touch with you, please drop me a line so we can talk and figure it out. If I dont really talk to you, Im most likely gonna give you my e-mail instead of my phone number. Dont get upset, its just what I prefer. I have my reasons for it, and lets leave it at that. Considering I want to be an actress/do some sort of comedy, people are probably thinking well if you become famous youll have to do all this stuff with Facebook and social media. Really? I dont think so. I think Ill continue on with my life and work around it - if people dont like it, oh well. I want to make you happy, laugh, give you good advice - but you dont need to know where I live, what Im doing 24/7. (Lets say I will avoid it to the best of my ability, fair enough?) If Im gonna continue doing YouTube videos, then great. But the less social media for me, the better. And this is just a personal opinion. Once again, this isnt to target anyone although Im sure some may think that - lets just make that clear. I try to be the best that I can be, and I want to be happy. How can I make a change for myself if I do the same ol routine day after day? I am not better than anyone else, nor do I think I am. Living my life, and living in my shoes, I have to be comfortable in my skin. If someone doesnt like that, well Im tired of playing sorry for reasons I dont need to be sorry for....and kissing butt. We dont need to kiss anyones butt. Not even if youre a manager. My coworkers know I try to keep it 100 percent real. We dont owe anyone explanations for why we do something, unless of course we are harming someone in some way. If youre in a relationship, the whole world doesnt need to know everything.. you two are the ones living in that relationship, not the world around you. There are just people who like to start drama and fuel the fire and want to know every detail of your life. Not just intimate relationships, but this also goes for friendships, family, etc all the general stuff. I try to base everything on my opinion because everyone has theirs... so if I come off as I automatically know something, lets keep it with opinion - unless something is factual and can be proven. I love you all very much, but the time has come for me to take two steps forward and zero steps back. I want to do what I truly think makes me happy. If staying on FaceBook and posting such is what makes you happy, so be it. I wont judge you. I have my opinions of everything & almost anything just like anyone else...so please dont assume things about me that you know nothing about. I will hopefully limit my FB time as much as possible and will keep it open for the time being so we can get a hold of each other and figure out the best way to keep in touch. That is, if we both want that. : ) (Heh I bet Im a hypocrite in this whole post some way but whatever. I figure if Im gonna post something long as hell might as well go all or nothing) Thanks for reading, and if youve gotten this far then I assume either youre nosy as hell or you truly want to keep in touch (ooh, here I go assuming - hypocrite status) If you feel the same way and dont know how to explain it, I hope my post puts it the best way possible. Im not good at shortening things as you know. ~Megatron, out.
