So its early (for me, anyway), and Im having a hard time sleeping. Im going to write about a thing. --- As of lately, especially now that I dont get out very often, I find that people of this day and age have little concern for their private lives. Everyone seems so eager to spill every bit of what is going on in their day to day business, and then, when people want to put in their two cents (or their noses,) into their matters, suddenly its a big deal. Suddenly its a problem, a how dare you comment on what Im doing/how Im living/who Im seeing/etc. Im here to tell you thats because you brought it upon yourself. Once you expose your private life, even one little bit, the floodgates are open and everyone has free range of you. - Jason Statham. Once you find it acceptable to share these things, you must also allow for the opinions, thoughts, and comments of others, because you were the one to decide to share. It was you who made yourself open to that. The input of others can be negative, and can turn into a monster (unnecessary drama, backlash from family, etc), or it could be positive and help you bloom in the long run (praise, constructive criticism, etc). People are entitled to their own opinions, even if you do not agree. But the fantastic thing, is if you dont want their opinion, then can keep your mouth shut, and keep things to yourself, and nip it in the bud entirely. Social media has made it very easy to broadcast your business, as well as the business of others. That you TOTES HAD THE WORST BREAKUP EVURRR, you hate your boss so much omg, some person you know is being a shithead for some stupid reason, someone you once considered a friend has decided to no longer be a part of your life, whatever the case may be. But remember that you dont have to talk about it. You dont have to tell the entire planet. And to be honest, youll probably be glad you did. People shouldnt know every waking thing going on in your life. Thats incredibly stressful. Once you learn to pick and choose what other people know, youll have a wonderful thing called privacy. Some people may call this being secretive, which unfortunately, also due to society, has gained a negative connotation. Dont be one of those people. You have every right to keep parts of your life quiet, to keep them a secret. Not necessarily because you have things to hide, but because you dont owe these people your lifes story. It is always assumed by the empty-headed, who chatter about themselves for want of something better, that people who do not discuss their affairs openly must have something to hide. - Honoré de Balzac. This also brings up the topic of gossip. Of shit-talking. Of humans not having anything better to do with their time, so they blab about others. Please take a split second to consider that when you talk about someone elses life, they may not want you to. Would you want them talking about yours, and all those tiny little details? If you do, then thats fine, but remember to be considerate. And if you have nothing nice to say about them, if you think they are the ABSOLUTE SCUM BENEATH YOUR BOOTS D:
