#4 Relationships: Does Social Media Really Destroy a Relationship ?

Allowing your relationship to be destroyed because of social media is a sign of immaturity. The more I look back on my relationship, I realize that. We constantly argued over social media sites and it was very childish. At the same time, it opened my eyes to the type of man he really was. I mean we both had our faults in the relationship but it was mostly about these sites and nothing serious ever. I believe in talking things out the right way and fixing the problem without the world knowing my business. Relationships are all about trust and it is very clear that was a problem in my relationship. The older you get, you realize some things just do not matter. Allowing the world in you relationship is very irrelevant because nobody is benefiting out of knowing your personal business.

Running to social media about your relationship causes way more problems and is a dramatic action.

#3 Relationships: Does Social Media Really Destroy a Relationship ?

As I look back to past generations and hear stories from older adults, the definition of a relationship has changed. Social media and music has played a big part in the change that toke place. What you go through with your boyfriend/girlfriend, should stay between the two of you. I learned that the more your friends now about your relationship, the more they are going to hate it. I honestly believe in second chances so I did give him another one after the whole face book inbox thing. So many people are in a relationship just for a social media. When we were together and I would post him, I would make a simple caption or an emoji which was simple compared to what most people did in their relationships. I know people that would not even write a paragraph for school to better their education but would have a paragraph and more to describe the relationship they was in. I mean a relationship is fine and all but I truly believe life goals are ten times more important. This generation seems to be so caught up in media and what others may think that they are losing morals and true values. 

I found out the least time I spend on social media, the happier I am. Media is fine to an extent but never let it control your feelings, relationship, and goals. I allowed it to control so much but when we were together the time I did not spend on social networking sites, I was happy with him.

The ultimate question. Honestly, I was willing to and I did at one point within my relationship. I gave up my Twitter and Instagram but he would not the same for me. I waited to see if he would and that never happened so I ended up making a new account. Social media only ruins a relationship if you let it! We both toke part in allowing it to become in between us and that is not a good thing. However, social media opened my eyes to the little sneaky petty things he was doing behind my back. However, in this generation I personally feel as if a relationship is healthier without social media. It is okay to have the accounts and all but I learned it is best to never publicize information about your relationship. PERIOD. The more you discuss your relationship on social media, the more people are on the outside looking in. It could just be as simple as me tweeting something in general but somebody else would take it as me referring to maybe a problem with my relationship. This generation allows the media to tell them something and believe it. I once read advice from Tony Gaskins Jr. on relationship that I would like to share.

#1 Relationships: Does Social Media Really Destroy a Relationship ?

Times have changed. I know I am young but the definition of a relationship has changed from my parents time and my generation. Social media has taken over the minds of this generation. There are only a few people my age that has no social networking sites and everyone has a phone. The form of communication these days just makes it so easier for people be to sneakier or to to get caught doing something. I can honestly speak from personal experience on this topic but it is common. I was in a relationship all of 2014 with the same young man and social media defined so much in our relationship. No, it is not a god thing but that is how I found out so much sneaky stuff he was doing. Here I am being faithful, putting effort in the relationship and was being betrayed time after time. The first time I found out about him doing something, I had just really fell in love with him. Mistake or lesson learned? I take it as a lesson learned and I always just wanted him to delete all his social networking sites but he would not. I caught him in females messages on Facebook a couple of times, he would post like he was single whenever we got into an argument, and he would hide his phone. Now, if social media was not around, would these same things still have happened? I will never know but the stuff he was saying was not bad but it was embarrassing because I was his girlfriend. Events like this happening ruins communication in the relationship. Instead of actually talking, we always argued through text messages and that is honestly that worst form of communication. The following  link is a video that was on the news about social media killing relationships because nobody seems to talk anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SwV9cRjnGU That was a huge problem in my relationship. When we were mad at each other but were together, I would just surf the web instead of talking.

Writing as a Self-Revelation

The article Writing as a Self-Revelation focuses on a few different topics but my favorite passage title is Private Writing. The author makes an interesting point of saying people talk ninety percent and write only ten percent. Of course, people are going to talk more then write because us as people have to speak daily to get most points across. At the end of the day, you were able to talk before you could write or read. We are taught at a young age to say little words and as we grow older our vocabulary expands. However, there is a huge difference between talking out loud and writing because more then likely your language will change. When you sit down to write you do not know exactly what you are going to say, you just write and try your best to make it flow. When you write, it has to be interesting and makes the reader want more because you never know who is reading your work. When living, you learn more and more rules about writing and the basics to it. Of course, it is human nature to automatically respond to certain  things in a different manner. Writing privately is fine but when you write for the public you are releasing your opinions and feelings. In order to appeal to the readers, you have to be fun and not boring because it is so easy to lose a reader's interest no matter the topic. The following link is a YouTube video on writing tips to help that are unusual but can help when writing about certain topics or even people.

The Goody-Two-Shoes Nature Story Opinion

The reading, The Goody-Two-Shoes Nature really makes the reader think because the text makes a lot of good points. Basically what the author is saying just like someone practices a sport , a person has to practice writing in order to become better at it. Some people can not grasp the concept of writing no matter how hard they try and some are quick to give up. As long as you follow the rules of writing then an individual can master writing in due time. It is all about putting your mind to it and practicing everyday for a set time. A person has to want to be a better writer in their heart just as much as doing any other skill or talent. There are basic rules the author states but you have to go beyond the basics at the same time. People change their routine daily lives based off having a regular schedule. The author speaks of her friend of quitting her job of eleven years because she wanted a change. That section of the reading corresponds with the rest of the text because it is based on how people get fed up and wanting something different in life but a person has to work for that change. As a person, you have to follow your heart and do what is best for you and makes you happy.
