I find something about myself which I'm not sure whether it is good or bad, about how I feel towards people around me. Especially the close ones. If it's good, I can finally see everything clearly and if it's not, it can ruin my relationship with them. I feel that most of the people around me is pretending. I was just wanted to say faking but sounds too harsh, no?
I believed that not everything in social media is true where people can put a smile on their faces or post interesting stories about how they really enjoyed their lives. I'm actually getting sick of social medias but where else I would go if I'm bored.
It happens around me. I can see so many different faces who is pretending about their lives - and even worse, pretending behind my back. It's like, I've known the person for this and that, but that person is actually completely different from what I see. I mean, it doesn't bother me that much but still I'll get upset about how life can be such in an opposite way. People can be a different version of themselves in social media. They don't show their true colours.
I remembered once, in high school I had this one friend from social media (yes, we were in the same school but never really hung out). We talked like best friend in Facebook (used to be a famous platform for interacting with schoolmates back then) but when we met and talked in front of each other it felt kinda awkward. I thought it was a horrible way to make friends. What kind of relationship is that?
Real life can't be the same as in the virtual world. It's like you are living in the 3D world where you can create your own different version of life.
You see, not everything is pure. Well at least in my point of view. Nowadays it's really hard to find something that really genuine. Sometimes I feel like I want to throw myself back in the old era where people did not yet discovered the word 'social media'. Everything was authentic. They don't seek for attention or try to viral something stupid. They don't create drama that later become a huge social media fight.
So my question is: how do you really define the meaning of pure?
