im currently watching the view, which i NEVER ever watch because i can't stand it. 5 women bitching, please, you can get that anywhere with any 5 women, why waste time watching it on TV? well i was in the kitchen busy, it came on as background noise, so i just let it be. It caught my attention with 2 things... the cast of jersey shore and octo-mom. as i watch both of these stories, i realize something. everyone, and i mean EVERYONE, loves to watch a train wreck. everyone loves seeing something go down in flames from a distance, but no one wants to be that center of attention. now, this is an interesting concept to me. it's almost as if everyone that doesn't truly know and love you wants to see if you've got what it takes to survive. they want to watch you fail. they want to be able to chat about you over coffee or drinks with friends. they want to be able to point at you and say "she/he did or did not do...*fill in the blanks*" everyone loves gossip. everyone loves a story. i will admit, i am guilty of just that. 2 thoughts come about with this...
1. i am going to try to avoid being the one that talks of someone else's life and life choices. it is their business and it is by no means yours to judge or point fingers. i am not perfect. neither are they...
2. don't worry about what other people think. they are not perfect. they just want to talk. if they want to waste their time judging mine, so be it. take it as somewhat of an honor really. they feel you are important enough to talk about! ha.
you are living your own life. don't let anyone tell you what to do or let them affect you and the wonderful life you are leading. go out and live the way you want to.
