stigma

Overly-dramatic posts, whether they'd be inspirational or thought-provoking, only works if you time your postings right. If you flood news feeds with the same sh*t every single day, you're just an annoying emo who should probably just kill himself (or herself.) Even if what you've posted is good, if you've saturated your audience with the same stuff over and over again, they'll probably just roll their eyes at it because they are already fed up with your drama. They'll just skip your post as soon as they see your name.

Having said that, I will temporarily unsubscribe from your feeds, my friend, until I've flushed all your rubbish off of my system. Too bad I've always admired your work. You're like Pink's song, "Just Give Me A Reason." It was interesting the first time I heard it; then I wanted to hear more and listened to it a few more times in awe; then I unintentionally hear it everyday because it is playing everywhere I go; and now I'm fed up with it to the point where I want to hit something every time I hear it.

I should walk the talk, right? Haha... I don't post often. I only post when I'm stressed out at work or if I'm emotionally distraught - in short, I post a lot of rants. If this is the first time you've visited my blog and you've read my posts continuously "digest-style", you've probably pictured me as a whinny fifteen-year-old girl that you just want to slap endlessly into oblivion. Hahaha... Anyway, I'll try to mix things up and post happy thoughts in between my rants. The problem is, my blog is the opposite of Facebook. Facebook is used as a facade to show other people how "happy" and "successful" some people want others to think of them even if they're really not. I don't do that. I don't want to be the center of anyone's envy - I live in a country where crab-mentality is commonplace. That will be like advertising my goods to thieves. Instead I want people to think of me as a miserable old fool just so they'll lay off my back.
