So.... I just finished writing Octobers Secret Subject Swap blog post! I hope you all check it out! It posts next Friday... October 3rd!! While writing it, I decided that I want to post a status that may upset some people, but I need to get it off my chest... I will be speaking in general, but yes, it is also directed at certain people in my life... I think we all forget to maintain personal relationships and friendships with people. I think the new norm is for public Facebook posts to be a perfectly acceptable medium to inform people of things that happen (from what you are eating or doing, to births/pregnancies, deaths, illnesses, etc). I get it. It is the way of 2014. I also dont get it. I live so far from everyone. It seems I always have. My family is fully divided. My moms family lives most in one geographical area, and my dads family mostly in another geographical area. So, I have always been closer to one or the other, or far from both. I get it. I am out of the loop. That being said... I do not appreciate learning about things (moves, marriages, deaths, etc) via public posts meant for everyone. Posts that are made after all involved know, and now the world can know. I hate being grouped with the world. So, I have decided if I am not important enough for a phone call or text... Fine. Just know that I am done with all that too. You can all find out whenever I post information on Facebook, or maybe not at all. I will no longer notify people of my hospitalizations/sicknesses/etc via personal calls and texts. I will make public announcements. I have told Chad that when I die, he can make a public announcement or maybe not even tell people. Maybe this seems harsh. I am sorta sorry, but not really. Honestly, I feel very left out. I am so sick of finding out things through Facebook and being the last to know. I am a person. I am part of families. I love yall. I would like to think you love me too. I guess I am just out of sight, out of mind. Maybe that is my fault. I am unable to visit. I would if I could. I dont get to go on trips. Bet your butt if I did get to go on a trip, it would be to visit yall. I would pick a location as close to as many people as I possibly could, and do my best to see you all. That being said... I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have had a sad weekend, but a good one. Heaven gained another angel this weekend. May he forever rest in Eternal peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all my family. I love you ALL... near and far.... Ones I see occasionally, and ones I have not seen in decades. Youre all my family, and all loved by me. Just a thought.... before posting announcements on Facebook, maybe you should double check that everyone that should know, knows. Finding out via Facebook really stinks. Now, if you are choosing Facebook as the medium youre using to tell everyone, so be it. If you may have to tell somebody... Oh, I am sorry, I thought you knew... Maybe you should make sure, before you post. Far too often, I did not know, even though I should have known. As many pictures as I post, youd think Id be a lot less out of sight, out of mind as I am.
