empathy?

“you can’t choose your family but you can choose your friends.”
  facebook is great at revealing who people really are.  what they are really about.  really delving into the “real” person behind the fake posts.  stupid posts by stupid people.  geeky posts by geeky people.  religious posts by religious people.  phony posts by phony people.  and finally after all the shit boring posts you get the real posts by real people.
  we live in a world where phoniness is rewarded and being real is lambasted.  a world filled with shame based judgements from boring people living boring lives.  not caring but pretending to care.  not listening but pretending to listen.  not reading but pretending to read.  DUMB POSTS FOR DUMB PEOPLE.  DON’T BOO JUSTIN BIEBER.  APPLAUD KATE MIDDLETON.  “I HAVE MORNING SICKNESS.”  WHO FUCKING CARES???  KIM KARDASHIAN’S WEDDING GETS MORE PLAY THAN THE POOR DYING STARVING BOYS AND GIRLS IN SUDAN.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?  WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
  I SPEAK TRUTH.  MY TRUTH.  NOT GOD’S.  NOT MOM’S.  NOT DAD’S.  NOT TEACHERS’.  NOT PRIME MINISTERS’.  NOT PRESIDENTS’.  I SPEAK MY TRUTH.  MY BELIEFS AND I AM CHASTISED FOR IT.  HERE’S A THOUGHT…DON’T READ MY FUCKING POSTS.  MY FUCKING BLOG.

NOT SUPPORTED.  THROWN TO THE WOLVES.  “YOUR DAD (DECEASED) WOULD BE DISGUSTED BY YOU.”  ABANDONED.  TORTURED.  HURT.  SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS.  HURT.  HOSPITALIZED.  no sympathy.  facebook exposes real.  it exposes fake. 
  christmas time is here and i will spend my holidays (everyday is a holiday for me) with my two favourite people in the whole wide (wild) world…TRIGGY AND RYLEE…NOT LAURA AND TAYLOR.  UNCONDITIONAL LOVE CONQUERS ALL.  WITHOUT IT YOU (WE) ARE DOOMED.  unless you get it from god which i don’t…so…(tears) I LOVE YOU TRIGGY AND RYLEE AND I OWE MY LIFE’S HAPPINESS TO YOU.  merry christmas.
