Is it just me, or do people get a little too riled up about things they read on the internet? I know that bloggers (and especially the well known bloggers) put themselves out there sometimes, and they need to expect criticism.
But, seriously. I feel like people get overly involved in situations that really don’t affect their daily life at all. AT ALL! That’s right. I used my caps lock.
And if I could “Reply All” to some of these people, I would. To say – don’t take yourself so seriously. And for goodness sake, don’t take the internet so seriously. Try taking the time you use to criticize everyone else, and go cultivate a relationship that you have right in front of you. In your own house. In! Real! Life!
This is not to say that I downgrade the internet as a place to interact and meet new people. I, (hands down) feel like I have the best crew of regular readers/commenters here, and I have enjoyed getting to know new people and create new friendships all while spilling my proverbial guts and trying new writing techniques. I also have Real! Life! friends that I met on the Internet!
But I wholly believe that getting involved in a pissing match with people that I don’t even know, about something that has nothing to do with me, isn’t really worth my time.
And my time? It’s precious.
After all, I have a house to sell, a husband to enjoy, dogs to walk, kids to help, and a yoga class full of fabulous 70 year-olds to attend.
So be well, friends.
Take a deep breath and go enjoy your day! Internet free, perhaps?
