As one of my motto's, I do love this saying! But when it comes to surrounding myself with beautiful people that I love, I think I could take my own advice a little more often. *Make no mistake, I mean Beautiful in the sense of their personality, not looks! Anyhow, I recently noticed that on my personal FB page I had hit over 200 "Friends". How can this be? I asked myself.. I am constantly on FB, and I talk with tons of my peeps that I absolutely love love love to be in contact with, and hear from! The rest, well, not so much. From fear of "hurting" someone's feelings, or whatever the case may be, I don't delete people even after I realize we have nothing in common or that their personality just doesn't mesh with my own. I was keeping some people on my Friend List even after I "hid" their posts b/c I just couldn't deal with the Drama or their Poor Me attitude. Yes, I am a Positive Patty! I just don't dig people who don't take responsibility for their own actions, have a shitty moral code, party like they're still on college when they're pushing 40, and have no follow through! If you're such a Debbie Downer that you're constantly bitching about your life and how crappy it is, and why/how it is always someone's fault other than your own, why would I want to be around that?!? Have some Personal Accountability!
I can't change people. I'm not interested in trying, to be honest. That's their problem! How I let it effect me, that's my problem! To keep toxic people around, when I have no reason to, just to avoid dealing with it, is just silly. I have no problem confronting a problem head on, so why couldn't I confront my issues with my "friends", even if only by not allowing them to sully my otherwise sunshine-y outlook on Life, Love and the Pursuit of Happiness? Now, I don't need to personally contact every person I have issues with and run down a list of why I am not interested in them as a "friend". But do I need to keep them around? NO.
I finally hit Delete today, and man did it feel good! I got rid of peeps that I don't converse with, people who I felt only added me to up their Numbers, and people who have Toxic personalities. I may have "hurt" someone's FB feelings, but seriously, it's FB. If we have never spoken, other than our original Add as Friend, why am I keeping you around and vice versa? You're just chumming up my News Feed, Bro!
I Love my Life. I Love my Husband. I Love my Family, True Friends and my Pets. I Love my Surroundings and the challenges the Universe throws at me. Am I perfect? Hell no! Do I need to be? Not at all! Is my Life 100% Fabulous all the time? Not even close lol. I'm not even Perky all the time. But mostly I am. Deal with it, or move on, it's your choice and I certainly won't cry over you hitting the Delete button if that's what you feel is best for you!
Live your Life to the fullest and surround yourself with Beautiful things that you Love. And that definitely includes the people in my life, whether on FB or in real time.
