I just came across the engagement news of the infamous fashion blogger and producer "Hadia Ghaleb." The amount of social media attention in her post about her fiancee and before that her trending hashtag #whatishappeninghadia , is hysterical. How come we allowed someone as her become the teenage gals role model?
What is wrong with our society, and since when social media has become such an integral part of our lives to an extent we would lose our faith and confidence because we don't have or look the same as those people we see in the pictures? Why would everyone suddenly feel
compelled or rather obsessed with sharing every single personal news or picture or
update of theirs? I am not sure if I am the only one who noticed the fast
growing number of friends who are dying to prove to each other that their lives
are awesome and perfect with no flaws? or the ones who are trying to reassure
themselves that they are being loved and liked by posting even more pictures
and personal updates? It feels like social media is more of a tool to regain confidence in our selves and our lives, than being a tool of connecting people to each other.
What happened to personal space, privacy, the beauty of sharing secrets only with your best friend, the beauty of surprise parties, or even the closeness and warmth of family and sharing each other's news in family gatherings and dish parties? What is the beauty of sharing everything about you with everyone? I am just curious cause for a moment I felt like commenting to a friend "I swear I
don't care. I don't need to know nor I want to. Keep your news special to your
closed ones who deserve to know." I feel like my news feed is bombarded
with none sense, and my personal space is being ripped off. I'd rather hide
almost everyone from appearing on my home page, or otherwise deactivate this
damn Facebook and Instagram thing for good. This is becoming insane! 😐
