When it comes to communicating on facebook or myspace, we normally say things that we do not even question. We just post a status and never think twice about it. We crack jokes and never even to think how it appears to others. Everyone’s lives are different, and there are things that amuse people. If we are young teens like me, we post up stupid videos, pictures, or even a status that does not make any sense. Do we ever question what we put up? Are we thinking about the video that we posted? Or do we take pride in our stupid videos? I know being on a softball team, we have free time in between practices and classes, and this is when most of the crazy stuff goes on. There are so many videos of us girls just being dumb. I personally don’t take any action in these, but they all know they are the softball girls, so sometimes you do get an image. We aren’t doing anything stupid involving anything illegal, just normally funny videos of cracking jokes with each nothing too serious right? In the next few years will we regret those silly videos or pictures? I personally think not.
Those silly dumb videos and pictures represent our youth. We should never be ashamed of what we did or what we went through. I know I will never forget this crazy softball team from AVC. I think if people were to regret it, you couldn’t take in pride or learning from it. If you regret something you did, it was a learning experience and not something you should be ashamed of. I have seen pictures of young teens partying it up. They couldn’t be happier to be a freshman in college. We see these pictures on facebook and we just think, I can’t believe they just posted that up. We have to take in consideration that everybody is their own person, and should get to make life decisions for however they want. Yes, sometimes it can be a little disappointing, especially if it’s your young cousin that is living the life. But it is their life!
These pictures and videos represent our lives, and there is not one thing I will regret from posting. I have some stupid videos and it just makes me laugh. Yes they can be embarrassing, but that just makes life more fun. I want to keep those memories with me forever, and for whomever else that wants them. We all have been young and dumb, and I can only imagine going back in five years and looking at those silly pictures. If anything it will be a reminder of what a great time I had. We should never be ashamed of our past, it is our past anyways right? Show those silly pictures or videos with pride! What is so funny is that I’m sitting here writing this blog in my hotel room with my team mate because we are in the playoffs, and she just slipped and fell while getting in the shower! LOL! She wasn’t hurt, but that is definitely going on facebook. ;)
I must say I was quite entertained by the last sentence of your blog. That was funny and it does deserve to go up on Facebook. I couldn't agree more though, silly videos and pictures are recorded memories that you will always come back to and have a great laugh. Whenever someone tags me in a picture from like high school or something, I always remember how great of a time I was having that picture was taken. I also like to take pride in the silly pictures that are taken of my friends and I, because if you really think about it. You can reunite with all your friends in like 10-15 years and kind of relive that whole captured moment again, by watching a video or looking at old pictures.
ReplyDeleteQuite frankly I enjoy the fact that we have facebook to be able to post these pictures up.
