Airing your dirty Laundry

Hey Everyone,

So of course since the introduction of all these social media sites, people have gotten more comfortable with putting everything and anything out there for everyone to see and read. A lot of people do it, celebrities and even us regular folks. But ever so often you can see people crossing the line and putting their foot in their mouth by saying things that they will one day regret.

I understand the desire to put your feelings out there, trust me i get it. I for one find it very therapeutic and calming to know that i have this huge outlet that i can voice my opinions and feelings. Knowing that someone or everyone, somewhere or everywhere can read my words and know how i feel. I do not desire A response nor am i looking for attention but simply wanting to be heard. See, i get it.

Some people however go way too far and start airing their dirty laundry for the whole world to see and know. Girlfriends cursing out their no good boyfriends, or cursing the woman that is stealing their man, and men you do it too. Point is we have to remember that when you post tings online you are setting yourself up to be subjected to public opinion. Now public opinion is not like having some girlfriends who will find a way to be objective yet still having your back. Public opinion is harsh and cruel, so don't set yourself up to be the butt of your own joke.

Case in point, Local Jamaican Artist that goes by the name Mr. Vegas, was allegedly tweeting today about how his girlfriend broke up with him and he caught her having unprotected sex with another man in front of their one year old daughter. Now i am not sure how true this is as i have not seen the tweets myself but this was all the buzz today on everyone's lips in Jamaica. It just got me thinking, "if this is true, then once again, why is he tweeting about this for the world to know?"

My guess is he was hoping that the public will see that this girl is no good and that she did a shameful thing and be sensitive to what he is feeling right now. But as i said before Public opinion, is uncertain, harsh and cruel, you may not like what you hear and you cant stop it. This guy officially set himself up to be the clown in his own life story. Listen up silly people, no one is sympathizing, you are simply there for another persons entertainment, what is deep and close to your heart keep it to yourself, its not any of our business. Don't make a mockery out of your life by creating a scandal for yourself, you  will only look like the fool you are. Better to go back to the days of digging your head in the sand to hide from embarrassment.

Once you put it out there you just cant take it back. We are all watching and waiting to laugh...LOL
 People have ruined a lot of lives and broken a lot of hearts through the use of social media sites. If you wont say something that you cant take back then don't write it either. Have we no shame?

That's all i have to say about our growing indiscretion as a people.Until next time everyone....
