I Want My Facebook Life! Guest Post by Sandy Puc

Intro by Skip Cohen

Yesterday on Facebook, my good buddy, Sandy Puc, posted the two paragraphs below with the attached image. I read it this morning and can't get it out of my head...but it's not just Facebook, it's our blogs, social media, even conversations with friends. Sandy said it all, so anything I'd add would just be redundant!

I was looking over my Facebook archives and realized that in sequence my life looks really fun. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy and life is great today, but I noticed a few things missing in my posts. There were those horrible divorce years that I felt so lost. Oh, and all the laundry...you never see any of that here. Bills to pay, kids to feed, days that I felt I would not make it and I would curl up and cry.

I am glad that today I am healthy, happy and ready to take on the world, but I just wonder how many of my friends are feeling like I did a few years ago and yet they keep posting their "happy" lives because we have all been trained to "look fabulous".. Sometimes it feels good to say HEY FACEBOOK...I'm human too!!!

To be clear: I'm not a cynic. I'm a realist.

Everyone has their 'real life' side and their 'Facebook' side of life. We've all got bills to pay, a family to take care of, a boss that drives us nuts, etc., etc.

The reality is nobody cares; granted, we may be fortunate to have a handful of people who genuinely are concerned with our welfare but that number is indeed very small. Truth be told, they can't really help.

When you realize nobody cares, you understand that you - and only you - are going to pull yourself up, dust yourself off and move forward.

Or not.

The choice, the responsibility is yours and yours alone.

Everyone else has the 'real life' and their 'Facebook' life. They need to make their own decisions to solve life's problems, just as you and I do.

I believe the best solution to any situation begins with honest assessment of the situation That's where solutions start, in my view.

Sandy's post wonders about others' life. Wonder no more. We're all the same. Just as Sandy did, they need to get busy on making themselves and their lives, better.

Because … well, you know …
