To the point.

loss-of-words:

I’ve had it rough but then again so did he. The man I was sitting next to on the train. The woman who carried her baby in her arms. The abuser who wished to quit. The saint who wished to abuse. If we’ve all had it rough, then maybe the word doesn’t even exist. Our rough has become nothing but normal. Another lesson taught to children. A fact of life. No one has it rough because everyone has it. Rough may as well be classified under reality.

I know, I know, posting a blog about facebook on Tumblr seems well…stupid. But I would rather have people ‘like’ or ‘reblog’ this post, instead of making it a note on facebook and then read about how other people ‘agree’ to what I have said and then contradict the entire point of this in their next facebook status. Anyway, the wide world of facebook has become quite a reality show. You have the happy-go-lucky people who are absolutely loving life and act as that ray of cyber sunshine. Then, you have the people who are the complete opposite; they complain about how nothing is going right in their life and even though they are posting about it on facebook, they insist on not talking about it. You have the party people who post about how awesome their weekend was, and you even have the clever people who make you think with all of their intellectual, deep posts. 

One thing I have noticed about facebook is people complaining about drama and having fake friends…constantly. Facebook is NOT a diary! If anything, that person is just making the drama worse by making it public. Hypocritical much? Another thing I have noticed is some people constantly deactivate their facebook and then reactivate it or they will delete it and then create a new one. They will start out by saying “I am deleting facebook. If you are a real friend, you have my number and you can text me to talk to me”. Three days later “I’M BACK ON FB LOLZZZ”. Quite frankly, I am sick of getting excited about getting a new friend request wondering who this mysterious person may be, and then finding out it’s just the weirdo who keeps deleting their facebook and making a new one (you know who you are!!!). Then, there is the person who will every now and then post a status that says something along the lines of “I will be deleting people on facebook soon..only want real friends on here!” First of all, CHILL!!! It’s facebook! A way to connect and keep in touch with people. If you only had REAL friends on here, you will probably only have no more than 5 facebook friends, which will get pretty boring. I mean, really, in any moment in a person’s life one can honestly truly say, they have only a handful of actual, true friends…if they even have one. If you’re going to be that way about something as stupid and diverse as facebook, then here’s a hint, DON’T JOIN A SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE.

Facebook has it’s ups and downs, ‘glads and sads’ just like any reality show. It’s annoying and pointless, but for some reason entertaining. It’s great to connect with people and keep in contact with old friends. However, when people start taking it too seriously is when the slow head shaking and face palms begin. Is ranting about it all on tumblr taking it too seriously? Probably. Is getting annoyed at the people who take it too seriously a legit reason to take it too seriously myself and rant about it? Of course ;)

Everyone has either been used or has used someone in their lifetime. People use one another in both good and bad ways. Someone may use a friend or an acquaintance to “put a good word in” when applying for a job, for example, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that; no harm done to either side whatsoever. However, in closer friendships, one friend may start to take another friend for granted and not realize what a treasure they have right in front of them, and they may start to use them like that dirty towel you used last night to dry off with tonight just because it is still hanging around…Anyway here are the top 5 signs of just being used because you’re there, not because you’re actually appreciated. These should be obvious, but unfortunately friendships can blind people so easily, especially if there is an amazing history and the best memories you have ever had within that friendship.

The top 5 (blind) reasons of being used:

1) When the ex friend your friend ‘kicked out’ of his/her life suddenly reappears when you’re starting to be pushed out.

2) When a friend wants to hang out the most is when they’re feeling lonely instead of just hanging out whenever you guys can.

3) When the 98% of the time a friend wants to have an actual conversation is when they’re complaining about something or someone in their life.

4) When your friend starts to treat you like something sub-human except when you’re the only friend left or one of their only friends left.

5) When you have always genuinely been there for your friend in their time of need and you cannot name even 3 times they have done something like that for you in your time of need.
