So I know why people friend me on facebook. Because I left Texas, because I got out of the small town I grew up in and they are interested in seeing if I made anything of myself (and also probably because I am married to my husband and he was the popular one back in the day).
Well, I accept their friendship mainly to say a big F- you, I did do something awesome. I did graduate from college, actually did something with my degree and have worked for two major (and might I mention well known) companies. Yes, me and my husband got married, we have a beautiful daughter (I am not at all playing the biased mother - will include proof later on ;o)) and yes, even after all that, I have maintained my figure and weight! Ha.
But I am not a mean bitter person (okay, might be just a little) but really what is facebook really for...people say it is to stay connected, and I will agree to some extent. But how often do you message those 542 friends of yours that you barely remember?
No, the fact is you stalk them. You see what they are up to in life, you rate your life against theirs and then move on.
Or else, you stalk past crushes...god knows I do, or ex-boyfriends/girlfriends.
That is what facebook is for. It is a way to measure yourself against others, and it is either greatly satisfying or just a great way to depress yourself further. You get to see if that person in the past has changed, gotten better style, or still stuck living in the past. Granted some people really do surprise you, and others make you glad that you have moved on. Facebook lets you peak into the past while making you thankful for the future, no matter who you are.
And in all honesty, this is why I love facebook.
