Love&Affection
These days, and for the last 10 years people have been obsessed with having lots of followers on Social Media, the more followers you have, the more power and influence you have. Don't get me wrong, I do this too, I will admit that fact and there is nothing wrong with it. We all wanna be liked, praised, admired, adored, loved of course paid if your lucky. That human nature, and didn't wanna be popular back in high school, I know I did! With Social Media, you are able to get, your able to have your dream come of being loved and liked. It is a great feeling, and I happy for those who that opportunity and I wish you the best of luck. But, it's different for me, yes, I do crave the love and affection part of it, because I never really had that growing up. Both my parents were incapable of showing love and affection. My dad, did show affection back when I was little, but once he had is heart surgery everything change( mom calls it a heart attack and dad calls it a broken, and to this day there still is a debate on which on it is). After, the heart surgery dad still stop showing affection, he stopped doing all things I used to love as kid, no more claming, no more boating, no more nothing. As the years went by he such got bitter, grump and tired. I personally think it's laziness but according to she said the doctors told her that people who have open-heart get tired very easily and are unable to do lots of physical activities which is pretty much what's happening now. My mother's way of showing me affection was buying me things, probably because she felt guilty for all abuse she put me through, put she care enough about my education. Guess that her way of showing me that she loves me, because my mom is just able to express love or any emotions for that matter. If does show emotions then she'll always take it the extreme to the point where you feel like your in a horror movie. As for my dad, I don't think he knows what loves is. He doesn't take good care of his body and is always exposing it to toxic chemicals, so I doubt he loves himself to take of his health they way he should. I mean he does take medicine when he needs it, oh and FYI if you get sick and need medicine all he'll say drink lots of fluid and get lots of rest, but when he is sick all of sudden there is medicine everywhere, and then he'll complain that your taking to long to recover. Well, isn't that a great way to show that you love someone by not giving a damn about there well-being. Another way he shows his love affection is giving you all the junk items you need and keeping all the goods for himself. If that wasn't enough then he'll get rid of your stuff sentimental or not call it junk and he'll get rid of it without your knowledge, ruin it by turning it into a rag or letting it get destroyed by the weather. I have never been in love, but I am pretty sure that is not what love is or affection. Luckily I did and still do have, but not as much as I did in past who did express love and affection. Thanks to my sister(who is 12 years older than me) I did receive love and affection and she was openly able to express it, so I know she loves me. Now, that you've heard my life story let's get back to the Social Media. As I said, Social Media to me isn't about love and affection from followers, but I don't mind it kinda do want it, but not for reasons you might. To me, Social Media is about keeping a promise I made to my younger self. You see I made a promise when I was about five or six years and I remember that day well. I was in my babysitter's large and creepy living room it was sometime during day probably the afternoon, (so long...
