“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections

I have gone on a rant about social networking on here recently, but I am about to do it again!! There are a couple of things that are really bugging me today. First would be the constant posts from people talking about how wonderful their life is and they have the best significant other etc. Maybe is seems like I am not happy or do not want other people to be happy. That is not true. It's just been my experience that people who need constantly profess their happiness or how perfect their life is are not usually all that happy. Same as the people who write in their about me sections about how they hate drama are the same people who are always in the middle of it.

Of course I am known to post status updates about what a great day its been and so on. I am by no means an unhappy person. Now, am I happy every single second of everyday? NO! Honestly who is happy that much? However, that does not mean that I do not have a great and happy life, and just because I don't post constant updates on how wonderful my husband is does not mean that I don't feel that way about him. He knows I think he's the most awsome thing since sliced bread without me having to tell everyone online that. I think that my main issue with the stuff the updates that I see about being in love and so happy is the fact that these people seem to usually have only just started dating that person maybe a month ago. Also when my 13 year old cousin is refering to her little boyfriend as her "lover" well that just worries me. I don't know if she truly knows what it means to be someones lover or if she thinks its just a term of endearment. I am hoping at 13 she is atleast educated on sex and by educated I mean NOT doing it. Ok waaay over on a different topic there. Sorry!

Maybe I should try and get away from social networking, but it is so hard to live a completly Facebook free life. I have edited my friends down to people I know in person, and quite a few of them are friends that have been stationed overseas. FB allows me to keep in touch with my oveseas friends easier. I have also hidden even more people than I have deleted, but then they end up asking if I saw a post and of course I didn't because they are hidden. Hopefully I will somehow find a happy medium.
