In society, we get so wrapped up around Twitter, Instagram and Youtube that we lose sight of the people who actually are present in our lives cheering us on every step of the way. We continuously look to society to gives us our validation and when we get so many likes or followers we have our ego boosted, which is not always a bad thing sometimes but when you become a egomaniac there is a problem. We are given this thought that every person can do something greater, which is true, but we identify this greatness with becoming a celebrity; people search everyday for their moment of fame that identifying with other people on a emotional level is becoming nonexistent. Society has become so self-centered that we can only communicate with people on a shallow level leaving for relationships to be broken. Yes, we may have those great friendships that have lasted for years but apart of us still only focuses on what that person can do for us instead of initially loving someone for themselves.

We have become so blinded by our own egos that we forget everyone around us and neglect to see that they are our greatest moments in our lives, I realized this for myself as of lately; I have always dreamed about what my future would look like and who would be there that I sometimes forget about the present time. Now I am not saying that looking towards the future is wrong but we have to focus on the present which shapes our future; pay attention to the people around you and be present in their lives because when they are eventually gone you may have no words to describe your relationship leaving you feeling empty. Do not allow your ego and selfishness to have greater worth than the friends and family that surround you with love, replicate their feelings to them so your relationship will not be shallow. People can be taken from this world quickly so challenge yourself to care more deeply for one another by loving them for who they are and not by what they can do to up your status.
