Celebrities feed us into this sort of
life where showing off is something
of a competition. They will openly
share pictures and moments of their
awesome vacations, lunch dates and
their luxurious lives.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
are one of the few couples social
media loves to give attention to,
even creating ‘inspirational’ memes
for them. The couple enjoys the
lime light so much they can’t let
go of it, even for a single day!
Some of you even go so far as to
bombard us with your relationship
problems, break ups and make ups.
With relationship status options on
Facebook such as ‘in a relationship’,
‘it’s complicated’, ‘seperated’ and
‘divorced’ – it’s amazing to witness
how some relationships go through
all the stages all in one week!
Relationships are now becoming more
about putting up a show or sharing at
every possible moment and the essence
of being with someone because you
like them gets lost. It is important to
remember that social media can
sometimes be a fallacy. Living in the
real world and making meaningful
relationships or friendships is what
makes life worthwhile.
