Soapbox Sunday

So here I sit on this rainy Sunday in my bathtub...contemplating writing a post. I have a lot on my mind as of late and if you read my post the other day I have some major health issues going on. Tomorrow morning bright and early I have to go to the hospital and get a spinal tap done. Yuck...so sitting here thinking about that made me want to go off on a tangent about other things. So here goes...

I'm sick and tired of people bitching and complaining about people talking about them and their lives when they put it all out there for the world to read. Calling people "creepers" and "stalkers" when you have a public page be it simply your blog, your Facebook, your Vine, your Twitter, Instagram WHATEVER it be just doesn't make sense. If you don't want people to talk put your shit private. So easy. You're also the same type of people who "hate fake people" and "hate drama" . Get off that high horse, we all love a little drama and we all pretend to be something we aren't at one time or another.

I have my Twitter private because it's just less drama that way, things can be misconstrued and start "Tweefs" as I call them (twitter beef). So I just keep it on lock. I have my Facebook private which I don't even know why because I barely use it. It's not very interesting. Mostly pictures of my kid and future step-kids and stellar deals I run at my work. I'm not the type to "put it all out there" on Facebook and Twitter. I've been known to angry tweet or "subtweet" but that's a thing of the past now. I also HATE those couples that are all mushy EVERY GOL'DANG DAY on social media. Get real...no one likes one another that much. If you are TRULY happy you don't need to put it out there for the world to see. Who are you validating that to? Yourself? Okay cool. Get a diary. 

People assume because my boyfriend and I don't post shit every day or whatever being all lovey that we are miserable. NOPE. Wrong...it's the exact opposite. I enjoy my time with him and our child(ren). I don't need to tell the world that every day. Just him. That's it. I'm not dating everyone else. 

Social networking is just that NETWORKING. I use my Facebook like I said solely for business and pics of the kids so distant family can keep up. My Twitter that is private I use for whatever else I want. My blog is for bitching and moaning and sitting on my damn soapbox. 

So I end here today with...if you put it all out there and people talk about you, don't play victim. Because you're not. You love and strive for the drama. You put it out there for a reason. Attention. So when you get that negative attention enjoy it, embrace it. It's what you wanted right? Don't run for the hills and cry wolf that you're being attacked and bullied. Scroll down that roller coaster of emotions timeline that draws attention and take a good long hard look in the mirror and make sure you point that dirty finger at yourself and smile. 

End of my soapbox for the evening. Enjoy these funny ecards! Haha!
