This is new to me but I'll start it off by saying HI! If you're reading this then you're interested in what I have to say and that's cool. You may/may not know me well but I'm sure you'll get to know me more through my thoughts on here. So without further ado I proceed to start my first online blog with what's fresh on mind today.
Ahhhh Facebook. It's fun, it's funny, it's convenient, it's a way to connect with old friends, relatives, classmates etc. IT'S ANNOYING! I think it can really be a blessing and a curse. For instance, as most of you know you can reconnect with people you haven't talked to in years and that can be such a joyous thing, but it can also create more drama then life was ever meant to have. What annoys me most is when people post about their "things". It's almost as if they're bragging. While that may not be the case I can't help but realize I'm guilty of it myself. So I try to be mindful of this when I post things on my page. I just don't think it's necessary that everyone in the world see my dress, shoes, Coach bag, car, house, etc. I guess there have been times I've felt silly over pictures I've posted. But on a deeper level, I know personally that certain posts spurn the ugly green head of jealousy for me. I have to admit it because I'm human and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get jealous but I do. I have to remind myself that there will ALWAYS be someone that will have a better car, house, clothes, bigger bank account, nicer neighborhood, more friends etc than I do. Yet, I could do without the knowing who, why and how. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss. One thing that is a constant thought for me related to all this is I do not want to feel this way. My flesh and my spirit fight me. It's emotionally draining. For now, the best I can do is continually remind myself of all that I have to be grateful for. God is still good whether I drive a Mercedes or a Ford. It should never matter in the big picture.
