Facebook.

People use it for different reasons – different ideas, different content.

Me?

I love that I get to talk to my family over seas for free.

Also, It’s my page.

I ONLY friend people I know.  Or, in two cases, people with the same interests as me and that I had interacted with.

Bottom line, I SHARE.   My Facebook IS  the one thing people have complained  about. Although, I’m truly only sharing with FRIENDS.

A convo with someone today resulted in my over sharing being brought up.

Not everybody shares their life.  But, I do.

I also appreciate those who don’t.  But!  But …

It sets up this unachievable standard that those of those don’t!

I feel more authentic failing, losing, breaking and sucking at life than those that only post when things are epic!

This is my boyfriend and he will tell you 100 reasons why being ‘in a relationship’ is not a good idea.  After many months I aquiesed.   (Mostly because, he’s right, the minute I got pissed or hurt I’d change it back to single in the heat of the moment.  I’m a handful.)

I feel like most people ONLY share the good times,  and I feel SO inadequate.  Maybe they hate their lives and only post the good shit?   Who knows? Not us.

You get the Ups and the Downs with me.

You get lame me, stupid me, broke me, sad me, happy me, and the only reason you’re seeing it is because I trust you!

I don’t friend EVERYONE.  We’ve covered that.  But, it bears repeating.

I have a small circle.  And I trust that I can be real.

You’re not always going to like me.

You’re not always going to agree with me.

But, you’re always going to love me.

Because I’m me.
