I'm So Tired Of Living In This Social Media Crazy Generation

Just because you follow me on social media does not mean you actually know me.

In this day and age, everything is so fast paced.

Everyone wants everything in the blink of an eye, we all know everything about each others' lives, and we all post about our own like everyone cares.

Sometimes I feel trapped and suffocated by all the noise, and I wonder if other people do, too.

Social media is both a blessing and a curse, and recently it's been more of a curse.

I'm getting to the point where I LITERALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

Everyone posts about their every move and it's tiring to be in the middle of it.

You could say that it would be easier to just delete it all, but it's not that simple when you literally work on social media.

I have been reflecting a lot on relationship of this day, and I'm honestly disgusted.

I'm in college and the hookup culture is real, but part of it is exacerbated by social media. People stalk their partner's location, they check the last time they were active, and they feel the need to constantly be texting them.

There is no patience, no trust, and less fun in relationships because we are so desensitized to the chaos that it dating nowadays.

Lastly, I feel like everything is amplified. People pick out their outfits for the next weekend before the first one is over because they want their instagram to look amazing.

Others seem to think it is okay it insert themselves in my life because they think they know everything about it since they follow me on social media. You can't get a hold of me through text?

So you feel the need to instagram, facebook and twitter message me until I answer. Maybe I just don't want to talk. Social media is giving us a false sense of closeness where it doesn't exist.

Needless to say, I'm freaking tired of it. I want to go back to being five and riding my bike for fun.

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.
