♫ Heavy Hearted Tuesday

It’s almost impossible, to write about something, without writing about it. You know, because it’s either inappropriate, or offensive, or sensitive due to timing. Maybe I care too much, I get that a lot. Usually, I’ll stick our blog title out there and say "We can say whatever we want!!!!" in my typing, screaming, voice. But not today.

Today, I want to make two points.

#1. There is a time and place for Facebook.
#2. It’s never the end of the world.

Point One:

I love Facebook. I do. I love reconnecting, staying connected, rebirthing old relationships, and putting everything in my life out there for everybody that cares, or even doesn’t. There are a few things about Facebook, that make me want to punch my computer screen in the face.

Facebook, is not a place for dramatic, needy updates. Especially, daily. I understand everybody has bad days. And, being one of your three gagillion friends, I want to, and do care. I will help and be supportive. But doing it in capital letters, every day, about your misery or your drama, really doesn’t make anybody want to care at all. In fact, the dramatic updates actually make people ignore you when you actually do have a bad day. We’ll call it the Facebook wolf cry. Stop doing it, unless you want people to stop caring.

Second. It’s not morally ok, to use Facebook as a gossip platform. When it comes to weddings, engagements, funerals, deaths, pregnancies, or births, do not, post an update on Facebook about it. Especially issues that could be touchy to the family, that have the chance of being insulting, hurtful, or painful to those that could see. Example. If a friend passes away, posting it publically on Facebook within hours, is not ok. Set up a memorial for them a few days past.

Confession: I once congratulated somebody on their new discovery, assuming it had been long enough for word to get out. To that person, you know how sorry I am. Thank God you are a Facebook addict as well, and caught it in time. I am still followed around by that guilt. Big love lady. I’m so glad we’re still friends!

Point Two:

This one is harder to touch, without touching it. Please bare with me for being brief, or running in circles.

It’s never the end of the world. I know, that sometimes it feels like it. I’ve been there. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been in such a state of depression, that it becomes near impossible to function. I know what it’s like to feel empty. I know that sometimes, the world really does work against you, like somehow, it’s spinning in such the opposite direction as you, that it takes everything in you, just to stand. I know what it’s like, to feel like it’s the end. Three people, that I know of, are there today.

I do not know what it’s like, to assume there is only one way to fix it. That’s all I’m going to say about that solution. .

There is always something to keep fighting for. Everybody I know, even the meanest, ugliest (from the inside), crudest, and most immature people I know, have friends. 300 on Facebook! Everybody has family, whether you like it or not. We’ve all been in love at least once, and if it’s not enough to believe you’ll have it again, or maybe still do, I don’t know what is. Animals will love you until it kills them. Flowers always smell pretty. You’ll always have a favorite site, smell, dirt road, song, and dance. If you don’t fight back, you’re letting the world win, and that’s not ok. Look around, and realize that there are a lot of people on your side. Don’t believe me? Try missing a few car payments. You’ll feel wanted in no time. *wink*

I know, this blog doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, because I beg you not to beg for help, and then tell you to ask for it. The point, really, is people love you. Even on Facebook. Even the most dramatic person that updates dramatically nine times a day, gets a least once response every time.

If nothing else, the Daily Offensive Blog, will love you forever.

Yours Truly,
Nomz
