I choose not to make my personal life public.

No, I Don't Post About My Boyfriend Online, But That Doesn't Mean I Don't Love Him

Some girls feel the need to post about their relationships from the second they get into one to show the world they are in a relationship and are actually capable of having a boyfriend. If that is you then you do you girl, but that is not my cup of tea and here is why.

I personally think you do not need to know every detail of my life. The world does not need to know every single piece of my life down to the smallest detail. I share what I want to share and I keep private what I do not. If I do not want to post about my boyfriend, that doesn't mean I do not love him, I just choose to keep our relationship between us.

My relationship is mine, not yours or anyone else's, it is between me and my boyfriend.

You have no business in knowing the details of my relationship, so please do not ask, because I will likely not tell you everything anyway. You are just wasting both of our time. My personal life is just that: personal.

I have nothing to prove to you and I do not need to prove anything to the world either. My life is mine to live, so let me do what I want and please do not judge me for the way I choose to handle my relationship. I do not need to prove to the world that I am capable of being in a relationship.

Whether I choose to post about my relationship or not does not determine how much I love and care for him. A post on social media does not determine someone's worth and will not change the status of a relationship.

If I want you to know I am in a relationship, I will tell you. Trust me, you will know if I am in a relationship and I want you to know. Being in a relationship is nothing to be ashamed of, and you should want to show off your significant other, but you can do that in many different ways. Just by simply being with them in public is a way of showing off your significant other.

You do not always have to post a picture on Instagram or Facebook with your relationship status.

Posting about someone does not determine their worth in my life. My personal life is personal and relationships are between me and that other person. It's my relationship and I don't need other people telling me how to live my life and pursue my relationships.

Post all you want about yours but let me do what I want with mine.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
