Do You, Boo!

Hey everybody! I hope everyone is doing well and has high spirits! Spring is finally here and I’m not sure about where you are but the weather where I am is finally switching from depressing to beautiful! The sun has been shining and even though we have had some rain, it has still been absolutely lovely, in my opinion. A new season is definitely beginning!

In keeping with new beginnings, I’m noticing a trend that has been around a long time and it is beyond time for it to end and start something new. The trend to which I am referring is minding everyone else’s business and what needs to start is people minding their own. There has been so much talk about how people spend their tax money and stimulus money and how much they get and on and on and on. As I have paid closer attention, I have realized it is not just those things, it is literally how people live their lives. Wait, I’m going to repeat that because I do not think you fully grasped the concept of what I just wrote. There are actually people online who have something to say about the way others live their lives…even though it has absolutely nothing to do with them. I have seen this in regard to parenting, working, being ill, spending habits, etc. and not only does it typically not have anything to do with that person, they do not even know the people on whose lives they are commenting!

So, listen, I get it. Social media and the internet are public platforms and when you put your business out there, it becomes fair game (and some of us post far too much personal business, but that’s another blogpost for another time). It is just weird to me that some people have nothing better to do or choose to focus on others and give their unsolicited opinion. Furthermore, I’m completely baffled when the people falling under unconstructive critique decide to explain themselves! It really seems that some people have way too much time on their hands!

My philosophy about it all: if you like it, I love it! Live and let live! Do you, boo! So long as it is not hurting anybody else and it’s making you happy, who am I to have something to say about how you spend money you receive or how much you receive and why. What else is interesting is that it seems like those with the most to say, have the least order in their own lives. It appears most people judge because it is easier to comment on someone else’s life, rather than get their own in order. I maintain that if people spent half as much energy getting their lives in order as they do making comments about and watching others’, the world would be such a better place! Listen, I know this may even sound hypocritical; you may be asking yourself, is she judging people for judging people?? Not quite. What I am saying is, stop making people feel bad just because you think they should. Stop inserting yourself in things and situations (in which nobody is getting harmed) that have nothing to do with you. What someone else eats does not affect you (there is a totally different saying I wanted to insert here, but I try to keep the posts all age friendly!).

The best way I can put this is: leave people alone. Live and let live. If it is not hurting or negatively impacting anyone, you do not have to take every single opportunity to say something because you see something. Put that energy into your own life and become so involved with your own business that you do not have the time to be in everybody else’s!
