If You Don't Like What I Post, Unfriend Me

"It's as simple as that."

I post a variety of things on social media from mental health issues to global warming articles, to pictures of cute animals, to my personal thoughts and feelings, to pictures of my outings, to my opinion about certain political issues; the list is endless. However, I get chats or comments from people about how they do not like what I post simply because they do not like it. It is not that it offends them I do not think; they just don't care to see it. Well, all I can say is, if you don't like what I post, simply hit the unfriend button; it is really as simple as that.

I get that not everyone will agree with what everyone posts. If you don't like what a friend of yours posts simply because you do not agree, well tell them, unfriend them, or just keep scrolling and get over it.

I do not always agree with what people post. For instance, I do not like posts about the hate of Jews or making fun of Jewish people. I sometimes want to start a fight or say a comment, but rarely I do. Why? If I barely know that person, I won't waste my time. So luckily, there is an unfriend button for that.

I do not mind having a discussion with people on social media. But unless I really care about the issue or feel as though I deeply offended someone, I will either delete the post if it is someone I care about, sightly comment that person to privately chat me, or just like I said before, move about my day.

I do not get why people who I barely speak to will tell me not to post certain things simply because they do not want to see it. Why don't they just unfriend me? I do not get it.

Do what you want, it's your social media. Just be polite, less offensive, and smart about your posts that you can.

Others, if you don't like other people's posts, unfriend them and move on. There are worse things in life than getting mad about someone posting an article about mental health or global warming that you think should not be posted.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
