I decided to blog about something that continues to bother me tonight.
And this is the use of the Facebook status.
It is not it's use in general.
It is what people use their status for.
I enjoy the motivational quotes,
the mood updates,
the personal goals,
the funny stories,
the talk about the weather.
I DO NOT like that people air their dirty laundry.
So your boyfriend cheated on you?
Calling the girl an S-word
she's ugly
you never loved him
he's a scumbag
Now that just isn't necessary.
Not only do you look silly,
but everyone who thought you were a strong sweet woman
Thinks the complete opposite.
And find it a little pathetic when someones status is updated daily
(if not more)
about how much they LOOOOVE their significant other.
Yes, you are cute.
Yes, we get it, you love them
and yes, I get nauseous hearing about it.
Maybe you should just tell them that?
The world doesn't need a daily reminder.
I don't mind the reminders of anniversaries
Even I do that.
But thanking your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancee/husband/wife
for making you a grilled cheese sandwich
which reminded you how much you love them and how perfect they are...
isn't something most people care about.
I ran across a quote the other day that really hit the nail on the head.
"Face your problems, don't Facebook them"
(or something like that)
And I really think that some people should take that advice and run with it.
Far, far away with it.
Off my Facebook news feed.
