This Post Could be Kind of a Rant

There are just some things I would like to get off my chest.
I am about fed up to my eyeballs with social media.
It is turning into a love/hate thing over here at casa Blondebell.
I love that I have made real connections with people from all over, Who, without the means of social media I would have otherwise not met.
I hate that social media has infiltrated into a constant, common, and sometimes only means of communication between me and people who are actually irl friends, people who I did not meet through social media but who have been apart of my life for good bit.
I hate that sometimes Social media stresses me the FFFFF out.
I hate that when I am out in person with the people I love I cant just leave my phone in my bag, or God forbid, leave it at my house.
I love that Social media gives me so much instant acccess to people I love.
But I hate that it sometimes dumbs down the importance and value of face to face, put in some effort besides moving your thumbs, encounters.
Rant over.

Peace,

  1. ugh. I totally hear you on that. Sometimes I just really want to delete twitter and facebook. But I can't. I'm addicted.

  2. I completely agree about a love/hate relationship! I am constantly checking my phone to look at Twitter, e-mails, or texts even when I am out with the only people who would send any of those things!

  3. I couldn't agree more. I mean, why can't people just play nice, and let everyone life their own lives in peace?

    Also, what would I do with all that free time if I deleted my social networks? Actually talk to people? That seems... hard.
