Argh. This one will include a lot of people I know, which is good, the more people I can bother the better.
Now this one goes along with the last one about profiles. Of course its your own profile, its your space to write whatever the fuck you want, just like I can write whatever I want here, but I do question motives and meanings and reasons why some people write some of the stuff they do in their profile. So as everyday something new bothers me in profiles, I started thinking today about relationship involvement in profiles. And came to the conclusion that it just isnt necessary.
I used to think that when people had "I Love You's" to certain boyfriend and girlfriends in their profile or away message that it was just cute and sweet, but as I grew up and had an actual relationship (yes just one), I realized it just isn't necessary, and maybe almost juvenile.
You're in love (or think you are, what have you). That's great, I'm truly happy for you, love is a great thing. Im happy for the other person, you're happy for eachother. Everyone is happy. But why does it suddenly have to go public? Isn't your love for eachother enough, why does everyone else have to know about it?
Now, when I read people's profiles that say: I have the greatest girlfriend in the world
I LOVE YOU BABY, etc. etc.
I start to think that these words mean less and less and that they aren't sincere words.
These should be things between the two of you. Why must the world see it? If you've been with your bf/gf for quite some time, it would be assumed that you loved them, yes?
Wouldnt the other know it? I'm sure you say it to them. I sure they know how you feel, and how you feel. Or atleast I certainly hope so. I feel like sometimes its said to make others feel bad. Oh I have the greatest girlfriend in the world (because she just gave me the most amazing head and massage). (oh really cus my girlfriend does that a lot and me for her and we care about eachother and know that we're great that we don thave to publically tell everyone so that we ourselves can believe it.) * my attempts at pretending to be someone reading that away message*
My question is: If you have this great boyfriend/girlfriend and you love them, why does it have to be all over your profile about it? I find it quite cheesy. Your love for eachother should be strong enough on its own to not have to be plastered in your profile to justify your relationship to a world of people who don't care. If you're going to dedicate your profile to just one person, then you don't need to do it. Just dedicate your time and feelings for them, to them.
We're not 13 anymore. We don't need fuzzy stuffed animals or helium balloons that say I love you, to know that your bf/gf loves you and you certainly dont have to put it on the internet to let them know either. And if its your way of being proud youre in a relationship with this AWESOME person, then thats sad and pathetic. Be proud on your own, do let other people knowing about it make you feel better.
Well that's my Doctor Joy Brown post for the day. Yes it got cheesy, yes it called a lot of people out, but I do know that I will never ever have justify my relationship or any relationship by posting it in a profile.
Oh I've also seen a new development of photoalbums just completely dedicated to their girlfriend/boyfriend. Just sick. plain old sick. I really seriously, no doubt about it, almost threw up.
