Live, Laugh, and Forget Love
Let me do a quick example. If I wrote a post about Kim Kardashian's butt, or about how stupid Justin Bieber is, people would flock to my site like I was giving cocaine away for free, but if I did a post saying that I had a terrible day and needed some encouragement I may get five or six people that cared enough to actually say something. The rest would just think that I was weak and pathetic, or wouldn't know what to say. Forgive the cynicism but you know it's true.
The unfortunate truth is that society has molded us into these tougher than nails, party crazy, 24 hour comedians, where we never stop and just break our walls down in front of anyone. We'd much rather laugh with somebody, while they throw daggers at a 16 year old kid, or snicker as somebody does an entire blog about female anatomy than to actually do anything that would require heart, or heaven forbid...care.
So my challenge to you today is, instead of immediate clicking on a post that says "Justin Bieber looking like a moron...Click now!!" take a minute to seek out somebody that may truly need somebody to talk to or a hug and give it to them. regardless of how much we laugh and party, all of us have days where we really just need somebody there for us, and unfortunately most of those people aren't there, because they're too busy looking at the new "controversial" pictures of some random celebrity.
Gain substance or die trying and that my friends is my short little rant for today.

I've found that often. At times, I will post on the "good" things, b/c honestly I know I'll get more of a response from people... whereas, I also believe that if I really show how I'm feeling, I'll get maybe a few comments and that is all. Eprops, in short, come to those who entertain and pretend to be happy... and it's disgusting. Consider yourself virtually hugged - and I applaud you, for telling it like it is.
@Passionflwr86 - Thanks, I really needed a hug. This was a terrible morning, which inspired this post.
Just so you know, if for whatever reason, you DO actually need attention or a hug, I am the one who's always willing to give it for free. Love is free.
People sicken me quite frankly... If I posted about nothing but sex, erotic stories, etc, I'd become real dang popular TOO! (no names mentioned 9_9) :P And that's what's sad. We don't appreciate PEOPLE. I appreciate you. I don't know you, but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate you.
*Extends hand* - I'm Lisa btw. :) And I will say that you immediately caught my eye because I think that you ARE intelligent and a deep thinker and that makes me happy. :D *HUGS*
@Winsa - Well it's great to meet you Lisa. I appreciate your comment and your care.
@Simbathe2nd - *nod* *small bow*
:: big hugs ::
Right you are. And it's sad.
Well, I always found support here when I needed it.
Good post.
I've noticed people view/comment on posts when I'm talking about something and they ignore posts where I show pics.
WAY TO GO DUDE
Kuddos!!!!! and then some.
Good rant, brother.
That happens a lot. Great post!! I will say, though, that if i've never posted on that person's site before, i don't feel really good about posting something just when they're down. It almost seems like an invasion of privacy. But that's just me.
I tend gravitate towards Xangans who need someone to talk to.
Nice to meet you, btw.
Yeah I've noticed the same thing too. But, sometimes perhaps I just can't think of anything to say, so that's why I don't comment. I've never thought that someone was too weak or lame. We all have bad moments and we all deserve someone to listen to us.
Good post. I hope you feel better soon.
*hug* I've noticed it too. It saddens me. I will always lend an ear if someone needs to vent and if asked advice.....I most definitely will give out hugs. :)
I took your advice and talked to a depressed person. Both of us came out of it feeling better about our lives.
I know what you mean, sometimes I get tired of all the negativity on here. I think people just need to learn to appreciate the small things in life.
Hopefully you're having a better day, I personally would like this week to end. I'm exhausted.
I promise I won't click on any Bieber post today =)
