It's amazing how "public" Facebook can be. Two of my friends have "announced" the termination of their relationships, and it appears immediately on Facebook. If the other person is also on Facebook, you read that "so-and-so and so-and-so have terminated their relationship." Because of the quick response of the website, and also because it lists all the changes, you find out about these things before the parties involved even has a chance to say anything to anyone. Then again, maybe by changing their status, they're already announcing it to the world. Oh, cruel world.
For some reason, once people get attached, I always assume they will stay attached. This doesn't apply to me, of course. The other day, a guy that I've always had quite a crush on announces that he has a "baby" who also happens to be on Facebook. Pangs of jealousy! I catch myself, and I have to laugh.
On livejournal too, where people pour their heart out, we find out about the daily travails of love and relationship. One of my friends is having a tiff now with boyfriend, and you have to wonder how it will pan out. It's like Dallas or Dynasty, cliffhanger and all. Only this is happening to real people. It could happen to you.
I find it hard to write down what's going on between my and my beloved( when I have a beloved). First of all, my beloved's probably going to read this journal, and it's only going to make things worse if he knows I'm making it public. Second of all, things are never so clear that I can put in words what just happened, or what's happening. There are so many sides to the story, so much involved, emotionally, factually, etc. The Internet is a dangerous place, especially for fragile or broken hearts.
