One of the major reasons…

I left twitter is because it was starting to get really mean over there. I would get so agitated and stressed out because my entire timeline was just filled with folks going in on someone. I don’t mind the celebrity stuff  because it’s distant and 9/10 they don’t know or care who you are. They can just go back to doing back flips into their pile of money. However, the pile on that used to take place on just random ass people who maybe couldn’t spell very well or said something stupid due to youth or lack of education or global experience became too much for me. I was feeling a bit hypocritical because I like to laugh and if someone is just downright offensive and ignorant to the point of vulgarity, then mocking them is warranted. It at least puts them in their place. But this new trend of seeking out people who are just enjoying their time online just to make fun of them and point and laugh and ridicule, was just too much for me. I just didn’t see the humor in it after awhile. Laughing with your friends and joking is one thing, doing it so so many people were on it was just… especially, if that person wasn’t attacking you or anyone you care about. They were just being randomly obtuse and dense. 

I understood when someone would @ you all crazy and you went off . Shit, I’ve done that on several occasions. But to seek folks out? SMH. It was making me feel dirty and sad. And took the fun all the way out of Twitter for me. 

I’m a bleeding heart spoilsport like that.

Of course, I left for a myriad of other reasons. I was wasting too much time on there. It was a trigger. It was making me feel like I was accomplishing things every day when I wasn’t really doing anything but wasting time and hiding from the world. I wanted to focus on figuring out what I’m going to do for the next few years of my life. I want a life. Etc. etc. etc. 

Yeah. Nobody asked but I thought I’d tell you anyway.
