Pout, Pose, Decide





 


"This or that?" 

"Ummm" 

"Nah! My skin is not glowing today to be wearing this color." 

"Definitely not this...I seem to be having a bad hair day!" 

Mom's voice echoed from the kitchen, 'Maggie, your ride to school will be here in ten minutes!' 

'Yeah, I know, Mom,' Maggie replied with a hint of frustration and a sigh, 'I just wish I could figure out what to wear without all this stress.' 

Mom knocked gently and entered, noticing a pile of clothes on the bed as Maggie posed in front of her mirror. She gasped at the scene.

"High school can be so nerve-racking, Mom!" 

"It's your perspective, Maggs! I, too, went to school, but never gave so much importance to my appearance as your generation does! 

"You had simpler times! Now is the age of social media, so we always have to put our best foot forward!" said Maggie as she continued to pout and pose in front of her mirror in her bathrobe.

"Believe me, we had our own issues during that time!" her mom snickered as she continued to observe her 18-year-old daughter. 

Just then, they heard a honk, and Maggie quickly disrobed and slid a dress down her head, which had matching jewelry. With that, she walked out with a deep sigh. "Gosh! Life is so difficult!" she lamented as she slipped on her shoes and rushed out the door.

Would you publicize your Disease?

Social Media haunts all celebrities.

When celebrities come out honestly with what bothers them; the media is not at peace.

Lately, Catherine Zeta Jones came out saying that she is suffering from Bipolar Disorder.

Case Rested...right?

Wrong!

Media still keeps pushing all sorts of buttons on this celebrity who is trying hard to keep her poise especially with a mental disorder to fight.

She was brave enough to come out, and declare what bothers her. It was not out of sympathy, but to create awareness in the public, and also to state that everyone has problems.

My 2 cents
We all have our own set of problems but, many of us prefer to hide it. Are you one of them?

 She was bold enough to come out with it. We have to learn to respect that, and give her space for recovery.


Mantra for today: Problems come in everybody's life. It is how we deal with it; is the choice.

Advantages of Social Media


FTSF #9 is here. 
Join in the fun!

“You know what I think of social media? I think it has made man lazier.

Man is a social animal and in "Olden" days man used to step out to meet his friends, and family. He also used to exchange long letters of welfare with each other, and would talk on the phone with them.

Gone are those days!

Man is  facebooking or tweeting his/her friend with minimum text just inquiring about each other's welfare.

Example:

X: h r u

Y: ok

X will think, at least she is alive and replying back.

End of Conversation.

There are some of us who don't even like to use alphabets. They use the smiley emoticons.

 Throw out your dictionary since that is no longer needed. Download the emoticons and keep it in your pocket or file in your smart phone, where-ever; it is easily accessible.

Advantages of Social Media

  • Man has become more productive with his work.


  • Emotions/Feelings are exceptionally low since; conversation is at its' minimum.


  • Children and parents are bonding well with minimum arguments.


  • Time management is at its peak. Country progressing and the word inflation are  nowhere near the ozone layer of our planet.


Mantra for today: This is the era of Constant Confusion.
