You Don't Need To Post Everything Your Boyfriend Does For You On Instagram

Did you know it's possible to be in a completely happy relationship without having to show the world all the expensive things he buys for you?

We get it, you're madly in love with your boyfriend.

We're happy for you, truly. But is it really necessary for you to post every single thing the two of you do together?

Did you know it's possible to be in a completely happy relationship without having to show the world all the expensive things he buys for you? Or that he takes you to the nicest restaurants and surprises you with gold-dipped roses...

Being in an awesome relationship is a very exciting time, but there are intimate experiences that are made to be shared and kept between the two of you. Those are moments when the best memories are made.

But you're too busy broadcasting it all over social media, and you're missing out on the true simplicity of a relationship.

What are you trying to prove? To whom?

Is there an ex-boyfriend that you want to see how good you're getting treated now? Are you trying to prove to your friends that your boyfriend is the best? Do you want your followers to be envious of the luxurious gifts you're receiving?

You may think that you're impressing those on the other side of the screen, but not everyone is going to perceive your relationship as rainbows and butterflies. If there's an over-expression of look how amazingly happy we are, then something tells me you're probably not that happy.

Instagram is a tough game. We've all been there, wanting to post the best pictures and the best angles. But don't drag your boyfriend down with you. Have you ever stopped to think for a second that, maybe, just maybe, he's not comfortable with you posting private text messages between the two of you on your Instagram story?

There are parts of a relationship that are made to be expressed, and there is definitely a time and a place to post pictures with your boyfriend, or even throw up a little appreciation post. But flashing it in everyone's faces that he spoils you and spends all his money on you, isn't necessarily a good look.

We get it, you guys are mad cute. But we don't need to be constantly reminded that you're spoiled.

We're not bitter. We're happy for you, truly.

But enough is enough.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
