If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake

I'm putting my foot down. The imbalanced favorite-to-retweet ratio has to stop.

If You 'Favorite' Instead Of Retweet, You're A Snake
Giphy

This is a public service announcement for those of you on Twitter who strictly favorite tweets and retweet something basically once a month.

First of all, you are a snake.

Who do you think you are to have to throw favorites around like a mad person but carefully curate your retweets when you haven’t made a tweet of your own since 2017. Your friends are out here spitting fire and you have the audacity to ignore its potential? You know when you finally get around to tweeting something that you would want them to throw you an RT. Come on, we are all out here trying to be the next yodel boy. That kid achieved all his dreams in a month and he hasn’t started high school yet!

When you favorite a tweet you are giving the equivalent to that pity chuckle you do when your friend says something kind of funny but you honestly weren’t really listening. You know exactly what I am talking about.

We can all agree that there is nothing worse thing than looking at one of your fire tweets and seeing 17 favorites and what’s that? Oh, it's two retweets. It doesn’t matter how many favorites that tweet gets, it moves down the Twitter feed slowly until it drifts into irrelevancy and can only be found by scroll stalking a profile page.

Twitter favorites are where tweets go to die.

Favorites are honestly just disrespectful.

If you are blessed with a friend who has a sense of humor and puts something out on twitter that is genuinely funny, don’t disrespect them. Retweet to save a life.

In all seriousness, though it could make someone’s day, favorites are like nothing now. They’re like pennies. Show some more love on Twitter, after all it's just Twitter no one cares.

If you want to start showing love now my handle is @HughstonTexas and I think I’m pretty funny.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
