First, I noticed on Facebook that one of my "friends" (ie a girl I had classes with in high school, hardly spoke to then, and haven't spoken to since) just got engaged. And I was so happy for her. Like seriously from the heart, felt joy for her. And then I thought, "Why?" I don't know this person. I don't know if this guy is any good for her or if I should feel happy at all.
Later, I was on Twitter and realized that someone I follow was no longer following me. This is the type of person who has like 300 followers and himself follows less than 30. I know I used to be one of those 30 - I was so hurt! He followed me first! Granted, I talk to this person very rarely and have little interest in his life...but he CONSCIOUSLY CHOSE to un-follow me - to kick me out of that 10% of his followers that he feels worthy of following himself!
These people are not my friends. But somehow the internet convinced me they were.
The internet did contribute positively to my day: I downloaded an image of a dollar bill to make these for Hudson:
