Facebook Is Not A Diary

Face your problems, don't Facebook them.

Facebook Is Not A Diary

Dear Users of Facebook,

I'm sure many of you understand that Facebook is mainly used to keep in touch with friends and family, post a couple of pictures of your vacations, check-in to new restaurants or favorite spots to let people know what you like, and for a quick status update about how things in your life are going. What some people don't understand is that Facebook is not a diary. Let me repeat that, FACEBOOK IS NOT A DIARY.

To some extent I'm sure each of us, myself included, have posted a little too much but there are some people that take things to the absolute extreme. I get it, new relationships are fun and exciting and you want to tell the world about them, but we don't need to see six posts daily about the way their eyes sparkle. We've all done it, but most of us grow out of it. Just because we don't plaster it all over Facebook 24/7 doesn't mean we don't have a happy relationship.

We don't need you to post "Stacy did this thing today at work and it made me mad" and the 4 paragraphs of explanation. Everyone gets mad at people but we don't need to tell Facebook why it happened, when it happened, or who is to blame.

Nobody cares to hear about every single illness that you have. Oh you stubbed your toe? That sucks but I don't need to see 47 pictures of a bruise that isn't even there. Oh you have a headache today? No you don't have a tumor. Oh, you sneezed? No you aren't dying of the flu. Facebook certainly isn't a doctor. If you're concerned enough that you need sympathy from people on Facebook, please consult a doctor. Of course people may say they are sick, but trust me, you don't have a new issue every single day.

We don't need to hear about your drama with your family members. Keep that to yourself. Don't air your dirty laundry on the Internet. That's not classy and it makes you look stupid.

Take your crap off of Facebook and face them. Facebook isn't your diary. It's not meant for that. Please knock it off.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
