This is just a random little something that has been on my mind for a while now. (side note...is it just me or do other people giggle and take a pause when they say "a while" because of that Family Guy episode?)
I know people love to be in love and share their love with everyone, everywhere, all the time. That, I truly do get. But all this mushy, baby, love you so much, sleeping right next to him/her, best boyfriend or girlfriend in the world etc. thing is becoming a bit annoying. No, I'm lying. I promised I would be honest with you guys all the time...It's become very annoying.
I love all my friends and I'm happy that they are happy and so in love. But the constant posting of relationship meme's and quotes and whatever else that expresses your love for your partner is just becoming too much for me. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way but I might be in the minority, when it comes to being upfront about it.
Maybe I am old school and don't feel the need to broadcast my love, infatuation or whatever to the masses all the time. Maybe I am old school and don't want everyone knowing my business...especially personal things like my relationship. I like to keep that info close to my chest (pun intended). Where only a handful of people know what's up. Now of course I might post pics here and there and talk about the great trip we had but you won't see update after update after update about me and my "boo" ever.
I love that you are happy and on Cloud 9 so to speak. Hell I'm a romantic at heart as well. I just think that you don't have to keep shoving it down people's throats, that you are happy and in love. We know you are...if we know you, we know you are happy and it's great!
I find that younger or new couples do this A LOT! It can be wonderful to shout it from the facebook mountain top (so to speak) of your love for one another. But please, please...for all that is sane and just being cool with your friends (whom you might be ditching for this wonderful lover of yours) stop giving us play by play of your love! Am I a hater? Nope. Do your thang by all means. Just maybe realize that not everyone wants to hear about your love all the time, every status, every day. This thinking can go for people with new babies as well. I'm going to be honest again here...not everyone cares to see every 30 pics you take of your child a day. Most don't care after the first 3 for the first 2 years of your kids life either. A pic here and there, growth update, new clothes, once a month deal is fine.
I'm sure someone will be offended by this post. Guess what, I don't care! If you are a friend of mine, then you shouldn't be offended because I've always thought this way...nothing new at all. If you are for some reason offended, sounds like a personal problem that you can update your status about.
