A Facebook meme floated across my feed a few days ago. "The version of me you created in your mind is not my responsibility," it said. "Holy shit," I said back

Eloquent and so perfectly phrased!

Facebook (social media) is a lot of noise, and more often than not filled with pointless kitten meme's, only 30% of which will actually make you smile.

Despite my dire tale of the evils of social media and smartphone addiction, it remains true that every now and then, one of these memes will come across and answer our most pressing questions, even the ones we did not know we were asking.

It's so much easier to say these things than it is to do them, but good on you for beating at least one such beast into submission.

I'm glad it resonated with you! what you say is so true, and yet so hard to practice too...

Well-said! Very true words.

I have been in the position where friendships have fallen apart. It is so deeply foundation-shaking. I'm glad you've come to realize that not all friendships are *meant* to last forever. :)

I really like that facebook quote, too.
