Head up princess, your tiara is falling.

The irony that comes with my blog is that I'm using technology to preach about how it is disconnecting us. Yet, that's exactly why I said my blog would fluctuate between the good and the bad. Things like blogging, YouTube, tv new channels, online news papers and kindles are all forms of technology that cause messages to be dispursed to a vast majority of people in a short span of time. However, I will never understand the love for kindles. Who doesn't want to curl up on a mountain full of pillows, and turn pages that smell of its past, getting lost, deeper and deeper into the text of a life that doesn't belong to you? Because I love that. I strongly believe that we fear loneliness. Our society is so scared to be alone, even though, technology isn't company, we have been brainwashed otherwise. If you only text four people a day, no one likes you. You accept any and all friend requests on Facebook, because you don't want it to look like you have no friends. I know this, because that was me. Every like on Instagram is another happy minute of your life, and you refresh picture after picture every 45 seconds waiting for someone to say how pretty you are. if you don't get that comment within an hour, you obviously aren't attractive, and you need to delete it. Well, let me tell you something. You are pretty, but you are also pathetic, if you need a few typed words to make yourself feel worth it. Not all technology is bad, it's just the way you use it and crave it that is unhealthy, and wrong. So here is what I want you to do. I want you to turn off your computer, lock your phone in a drawer, find a mirror and look into it. Now, say these words. "I am beautiful, I am worth it. I can accomplish anything and everything. I am loved, and I am important. Nothing, and NOBODY can change that." Then, I want you to smile, because it is true.

  1. I did that but then I updated my status to let everyone know that "I am beautiful, I am worth it. I can accomplish anything and everything. I am loved, and I am important. Nothing, and NOBODY can change that."
