They put the tea on because they know you’re on your way. You grab your jacket, I wait by the door. Before you go, can you show me where I look to turn the breaker back on if we run the blow dryers at the same time again? And quickly show me where we keep the lightbulbs? Does this picture frame need a screw or will a nail do? Do you think if I move the clothes out of it you could take my old dresser out of the closet? You don’t have time for all this but I continue; When is it time to change my tires? How do I make sure the hoses won’t freeze up in the winter? What if the bank calls and tells me I can increase my credit limit, should I do it? Can you quickly explain to me why the democrats want to get rid of fracking? And also what is fracking? Do you think I’m on the right career path? Should I be investing part of my paycheque? What is that noise coming from the furnace? Can you check it out I can’t sleep if it’s clicking all night? You sit patiently with me, I know you have to ...

So like I said, it’s okay to follow a trend.

Doing exactly something that someone else is doing is not only weird but quite frankly annoying.
I was stalking my own Instagram the other day (shut up you do it too) and I had a few realizations. The first was: DAMN I post way too much. The second was that one of my ‘friends’ stopped liking my pictures after I posted my blog called Bad People.
I would be offended but I’m honestly pretty sure they’re just kinda butt hurt that I decided to call them on their sh—
Nevermind.
Well boo-hoo, meanie. Because I had another realization too.
Every time I post, they post. And every time I do something different, they do too. When I would make new friends, they told those new friends “good luck.” They even got their significant other to unfollow! Oh no! I’m devastated!
I also realized that some people are so incredibly jealous of other people’s lives that they keep track of the captions on their pictures and... and then they caption their own pictures to be a version of it or a petty comeback.
LET ME REPHRASE SO YOU UNDERSTAND.
There’s people who make a WHOLE POST just so they can make the caption petty....like I’m sorry....your life must be so....dull....
It’s like, do you just sit in bed at night and think “how can I make sure they know I don’t like them?” Because for me, it’s thinking about whether I want popcorn or chips.
Aaaaanyways.
I thought about all the people who’ve got nothing better to do than to just obsess over others, just to be mad.
And then came the FIFTH realization of the self-stalking-Instagram-moment:
I AM A HYPOCRITE.
I was guilty of trying to keep up with the drama. Keep tabs on who was liking my posts, and who deserved my likes back.
So I stopped.
It’s that easy. I just unfollowed them. Stopped answering texts. Stopped telling them my exciting news. I was giving them exactly what they wanted and they honestly didn’t deserve my attention.
I realized that if I’m gonna give them as much attention as they’re so desperately giving me, I’d be just as weird as them.
Instead, I decided to take is a compliment. So upset about my selfie that you have to post your own five seconds later? That’s fine, cutie. You liked my idea? Good! You can have it! You want to live the life I’ve already lived??? That’s fine, too. I’m on to bigger and better things, sister!
What I’m saying is that people who copy you are either so mad that their brain literally implodes and is unable to come up with original ideas, or they’re just jealous.
Probably the latter.
And you’ve gotta give them credit, it takes a lot of time to follow in someone else’s exact path. It takes a lot of energy to be consistently jealous of someone.
Hunny, don’t you get tired of wondering what I’m up to?
If you copy someone, just give them some creds. Tell them you love what they were doing so much that you just had to do it too. Or don’t, and risk being offended by every word I wrote above.
P.S. I see you. It’s okay. I understand how boring it must get doing nothing with your life.
