I was on facebook about 5 minutes ago, scrolling and looking at what my friends or pages have posted for the day, when suddenly I began to realize how empty this all seemed. I was taken aback and dumbfounded at this newfound feeling. I went to my pages that I have followed and one by one unfollowed and unliked. I was astounded by how many pages I did like, from yoplait to Barkpost and from Monster High to teletubbies.
I'm not even a big yogurt eater nor do I own a dog anymore. I do like Monster High (even though I'm a mid 20 year old) but deleted it because it wasn't worth my time and why do I even have Teletubbies on my favorite T.V show category?!
It took me FOREVER to delete all the unnecessary pages and items and I felt a lot better with this new change. It was short lived and I realized I needed to do better than that. So what did I do? I did what I never would have done, I deleted my old account (which had a VERY old email attach to it) and began totally fresh. Actually, I still have my account I only kept it because it has memorable pictures on there. I re-added my friends because I do like to keep up with them from time to time and I do have to say that I feel relieved and better than ever.
Now since I started over what do I have in mind with this new account? I decided I wanted to spread some positive vibes on the social media. I want to post some goodness and positive postings/ quotes. Either from songs, movies, in books, on pinterest, or from what people have told me. I want to be able to be in touch with myself through doing this and to my friends/ family members. I want to be a better influence not only to those I love, but to myself as well. Because how can I love a person if I don't love myself first. In a way, this new resolution is like finding myself again and doing what I know I love to do. Spread happiness, good word, and faith like confetti! Cause who doesn't like confetti?
-A few weeks later-
Sounded something from Spongebob. I could not be any happier with my decision! Everyday I think of good things to post, meaningful and worthwhile, maybe I don't post every single day, but I think of what to post instead of what I ate, what I did with whoever, etc, etc. I no longer am captive to posting my life, because that is my life and I feel like I need to be more cautious of that. I also have decided to be more positive, as if I wasn't already. The thing is, is that I have people in my life who are negative. What I mean is that they are really nice people, but they make remarks that could shut someone down or judge. While I use to be that kind of person not that long ago, I have since mentally grown up. Everyone is different, the way they talk, dress, act, or do in their daily lives is what they want to do. I shouldn't tell someone how they should do a certain something because they aren't me or they're not living up to my "expectations". In a world full of hate and negative emotions or words, we need to change. What ever happened to complimenting someone or liking something without judging or harshly commenting on the subject. Whatever happened to, "You have your opinion, I have mine, but I still value you as a person and even though I don't agree with your statement, you have good qualities."
How is it right to treat someone with disrespect and put them down? Do you truly know how they react or feel after the manner? The more I become familiar with our constant changing world and the older I get the more I realize that our world sucks, and I truly mean that. So my goal for this year is to be more conscious and more positive. I've also decided to do something good for every month of the year, with April coming up I have some great plans for me, which I hope to write about next month.
"Don't judge me. You can't handle half of what I've dealt with. There's a reason I do the things I do, there's a reason I am who I am."
