Social Media

Posted on by

Social media, like Instagram and Facebook can help keep a friendship afloat, but it can also hurt, and sink the friendship down.

One of my very best friends started a fake, anonymous cyber-bullying page on Instagram to target certain kids, and I had no idea until someone told me, making me a part of a vicious line of gossip that never ends. She was completely normal around me, and never used to complain about people, which made it especially alarming to hear about this. Needles to say, it ruined our friendship, as well as a lot of her others.

Even though this experience was scarring, Social Media can also make things a lot easier.

One of my very best friends since birth used to live less than a mile away, our parents were best friends, we would’ve been at the same school, and my sister was “BFF’s” with his sister. Everything was perfect, until they moved to California. Keeping in touch is hard, but we remain just as close with the help of FaceTime, Skype, iMessaging, Instagram, and Facebook.

This proves that maybe keeping Social Media around would not be a bad idea, but when you use it, make sure to be careful, and make smart choices.

I’ve only been here once, but I long to back.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Slovenia, there is a house. A house with fresh eggs from live chickens next door every morning. A house where you can stand on the fountain in the front yard and see a castle. A house where the doorway is covered with hanging strands of green ivy, and where everything you see is picture perfect.

I would stand outside and play catch for hours, till the sun set, and till the moon rose. The roads there were narrow and winding, and due to the grape orchard and flower trail behind the little cottage, it always smelled like French wine.

This is not a fancy house either. It is a small wooden two-story shack with a balcony only 10 or 12 feet from the ground. There is a stone wall stretching the perimeter of the house, and a driveway so steep I could slide down it.
