This is not directed at anyone specifically, so dont go getting your panties in a bunch out there, I just want to rant for a minute because this is, as we know, the best place to do it. Im actually really irritated with Facebook as a whole. While its meant for entertainment purposes, we all know it has a way of ruining things such as relationships, lives, and careers, but it can also ruin attitudes which brings me to this thought: it bothers me the way we are constantly comparing ourselves to our peers through social media. I for one, am so sick of seeing engagement pictures, and baby pictures, and statuses about how so-and-so landed their dream job, and vacations in the Caribbean, keys to a new car, or whatever else everyone brags about on a daily basis. I dont want to be a hypocrite, I know Ive posted pictures of the houses Ive bought, or the flowers Rays sent me, but why do we feel the need to constantly shove what we have in others faces? I know that if it werent for Facebook, I wouldnt know or give 2 shits that whats-his-name from my sophomore English class bought a brand new car last month, got engaged last week and is now on their way to Jamaica for vacation, but because I know, Im jealous... a little... ok, a lot. What Im saying is its not heathy to compare yourselves so closely. A little competitiveness is a great way to reach your goals, this Facebook shit though, this shit can cause depression. Seriously.
