Facebook, Texting, Messanger... And all of those other fun things...

My mum keeps telliing me that we live in a new generation, which we do obviously. But what she means is with our ways of always being able to communicate. I do agree that sometimes it seems like we are always in communication, cause, well we are. When these things are taken away from you, finding other things to do is not always easy. We have gotten used to always being able to have a conversation with someone. We have forgotten what to do with out a phone or computer or TV. It can get boring... Not being able to watch a show, or talk to someone, or look at things on facebook. I have my phone, and a TV, and a computer. the thing I dont have is facebook right now. Sometimes I can find it difficult, maybe because I want to talk to a friend who doent have a cell. But really I want to talk to my best friend who is in belieze! Its hard to talk to her, and I am greatful for tools like facebook. But when you get it taken away, it becomes more difficult. The thing with facebook, texting, and messanger is that really, you dont know whos on the other end, you may have the person as "John" in your contacts but it could easily be one of his friends. Ive had that happen to me where it has not been the person you think it is. And sometimes it can hurt, they can say mean things, and you think it is them. I havent had messanger for a very long time. In someways I miss it, but not really, cause I have facebook which has a chat right in it (but right now I dont have facebook). I used to text people a lot, but I have really been working on not texting a lot of people. I think I am doing pretty good. My inbox used to have to be emptyed once every day(it can hold 500 texts, weather sent or recived). Now I havent emptyed it in 7 days and I only have 100 texts (added togeather from sent and recived). I think that I realized that you can just talk to them at school the next day. And if you can't, well then should you really be talking to them? I mean if you guys are not really friends you just text, then really should you be talking to them? The people I talk to now are people that I talk to regularly, or I wave to in the hall.

So, one of my new years resolutions is to live where I am and who im with. Enjoy the people around you, listen and learn about what they have to say. You'll be suprised what your missing!
