What SOCIAL MEDIA teaches us

Too much exposure to socmed won't do you any good. As what others often say, anything that's too much is DANGEROUS. I am proud to say that I belong to the GEN-X who are believed to be resourceful, independent and we know how to work hard and yet play harder. 

 Well apparently, there are some who belongs to our generation who are so much consumed with socmed but there are still those, just like me, who would rather take a nap rather than browse anything and everything on the net. 

I'm an introvert that is why I prefer blogging over vlogging. I value my privacy so much that I opted not to post regularly on facebook, instagram etc. Enough of my explanation, though. I just want to share some insights on the negative effects of socmed. 

 Think before you click, that's what you often hear but come to think of it. A lot often forget to think before they click. I have read a lot of offensive words, nasty comments and uncalled for statements written by other people. It's as if they have the right to judge the person whom they are humiliating, drained and attacked personally. It's as if they are perfect. It's as if they are ideal from head to toe that they were already given the privilege to stoop down on other people. And that is very very wrong. 

Back in the day, there were no bashers. Just some sort of people who are bitter enough to be jealous of the other person and if they have something to say, it would not even reach the other side of the planet. Unlike now, the comments can reach even the other side of the globe. If you post something that they do not approve of, they would never like your post but they would still have the courage to leave nasty comments to their delight. Not knowing what might be the effect to the person whom they are insulting. 

 I do not understand. I just don't get it. Where's compassion nowadays. What is happening to this generation. Isn't it much easier to leave inspirational messages, positivity and words of encouragement? Why is it so hard to be nice to one another? 

Does social media taught us to be rude? While social media brings the family together, it can also destroy families. Same old, same old. The children suffer the most when either of his/her parent play with fire. 

Absolutely, co-parenting doesn't seem so bad but a thing called broken family could still be avoided in the first place. A piece of advice to young guys out there, do not get a girl pregnant if you have no plans of protecting her till the end. Lust won't do you any good. Pray for a love to last and do not give in to your lustful desires if you are irresponsible, immature and happy-go-lucky. You can play with fire for as long as you are single, but please, stay protected for humanity! 

Now, here's my advise to all young girls out there. Do not believe you boyfriend if they ask you to prove them how much you love them. Believe me, they are just after what's between your legs. Do not give in. Get married first and make love for as long as you like. Trust me, you will never go wrong if you get married for the right reasons.

Now, talking about social media. Use it wisely. Be informed, be compassionate, be humane.

It's not social media that's ruining us. It's our attitude. It's our lack of self-discipline, it's our lack of compassion. We no longer fear God because if we do, there will be no hatred. Just love to all mankind.

Remember the golden rule, do not do unto others what you do not want others  to do unto you.

The one that got away...

Isn't  it obvious, A.R. will always be, and forever will be the one that got away.   I don't know but I just thought about him the other day. Maybe because I chanced upon his letters to me, his videos, his pictures.  He was so close to perfect. I will always have nice words for him even if he broke my heart. I just thought to myself, what if we ended up together? But on second thought, It would be impossible for me to end up with him. I am so immature and stubborn. He doesn't deserve me. He might be my soulmate, apparently, he was, he is and he will always be. Soulmates don't end up with each other, as they say. They have this connection  but it doesn't mean that they are meant to be. Maybe, in the next lifetime, we will meet again.  I'm still hopeful that after everything that I have been through in this lifetime, I still deserve to be happy.  Fingers crossed. *ingzee*  

complicated...

have you ever been in a situation wherein you think that he's everything that matters? that he's your life and you can't live without him? but sad truth is, he was never yours to begin with...he can't commit to you because he's already committed.. will you let go or will you fight for your love??? don't you think letting go is the easiest way out? but will you or would you rather not??? what will you choose... choosing what is right but you know that it won't make you happy or choosing what you know is wrong but you certainly know that it'll make you happy? the decision is yours to make...make a stand...and face the consequences!
