Social media can be many things but the only thing I’m thinking right now is how much of a lie social media is. People come from Slovakia when they don’t even know where that is on an actual map. Some have been around the world and back just from their beds while others have worked or been CEOs at UN, BBC and signed contracts with Young Money as they hop from one squeaky bar stool to another and crashing on people’s couches.
A friend of mine updates a status on 22nd Dec “If you are working today, you are either a
medic, self-employed, disorganized or you have your priorities wrong. Which one
are you?” I am not even working but I immediately went like, who are you to
judge why other people are working? These are some other pretty legit reasons
not within the update that actually explain why people would be working over
the festive season.
Anyway, who are they to deserve an explanation? Nobody owes
you a damn explanation. I don’t owe anybody an explanation, that’s how I live
my life. I choose to work when I want, however I want to and from whenever, as
long as I deliver. I work odd hours all the time because I work to perfection
and some are delicate deliverables that I have to get done. If I had things to
do I would work on the 24th, 25th even the 26th
too. I mean, c’mon, you want it that bad, go for it!! Whenever, wherever, however,
as long as it is legal and decent.
Personally the
festive season is a complete waste of time. And Jesus wasn’t born on the 25th
of December by the way. Show me a verse in the bible that supports that. I don’t
like what everyone obsesses over. It’s just how I am. If everyone wants it, I don’t.
(Except money and success and happiness: D I might have to rephrase this,) I don’t
like Christmas.
We have become pathological liars with the help of social
media. Captions, hashtags, filters, are mostly lies, including some moments. Socialites
steal pictures just for Instagram. Google it. If you are having the time of your
life at the concert why are you busy filming from your cheap phone instead of
dancing your heart out? If you don’t get high as a kite and lose that phone,
maybe you might have a good memory of the whole concert and keep the phone and
the purse too while you are at it.
Everyone out there is applauding achievements and success because that's how society is, its only human nature to show you are happy even when you are clearly not. From
a page you can figure so and so is “happily single”, in a relationship, trips
out of town every now and then, loving their work, dinner at a high-end hotel
of course, then they are engaged, wedding shopping, #happily married, getting
pregnant, popping, new cars, vacations and all. Hardly will you see, sleepless
nights, late with rent, I don’t even have examples because I see none of them
failures. But these same people go through tough times. Some are even
depressed.
People do post photos
of funerals and other tragic things but not as often, yeah? Say 2% of Instagram
could be depicting grief. People go through so much we will never be aware of
because they will never mention it; instead that’s when they will think of
having a social media Detox. It works. The moment you do not feel the pressure
of being caught by your friends random camera or paparazzi maybe you could let
loose or be your actual self and don’t give a f**k or two.
