I have been off Facebook and Instagram for some months now after I realized most of the things I was getting jealous about were staged and deceit plated…
In fact, I think I am happier today than I was some months ago when through Facebook status and photos updates, I thought my life was one hell of a sh*t hole.
Like most people on Facebook and Instagram do, these social media platforms were my morning coffee and my late night tea—checking the platforms religiously each morning and before I sleep. And I’ve not added the number of times I sneak my way unto there while at work.
Anytime I log on, I get to see interesting updates in words and photos from friends and those I do not even know but have somehow added me—-I called them the virtual world buddies.
With time, I became jealous of most of my friends—believing they were living a dream life while I continue to starve on the beauty of life.
Friends were going on holidays, visiting places and meeting some interesting people while I continue to work my butt off—-and at the end of the month, I still had nothing to show for it.
The status updates were the real killers. Each week, I get to read things like; my boyfriend just made my day… Having a dinner with BF….Packing to go away….He just popped the question and I said Yes…
Which single girl looking for all the above will not feel a little jealous and the pressure to re-evaluate her life each day?
