It’s been almost a year since
I read any gossip sites or tabloid magazines. For some that may not be a big
deal, but for me that is HUGE! I was addicted! Everyday some celebrities
business was on display for the world to see and I was all up in it hunni.
Maybe it was the allure of
knowing people that live such wonderful lives had everyday issues like me.
Maybe it was the access to the celebrity way of life. It could also be the fact that I honestly couldn’t
escape it; every Isle at the grocery store had abundance of someone’s divorce, weight-loss
secrets and relationship scandal conveniently advertised for $2.99. For
whatever reason I had, I found myself disgusted with myself for obsessing over
someone else’s misfortune. The idea of spending time reading about a negative
in someone else’s life was just not cool to me any more.
Now
I find all that stuff trivial and intrusive. Could you imagine having hundreds
of false accusations and stories hurled your way by people you have no idea
even exist? Further more I would start to believe I actually knew these people
based on media reports. INSANE I know… Crazy how after hearing so much of other
peoples business we tend to feel entitled to voice our opinions on things we
have absolutely no clue about. After a while I found more value in building great long lasting relationships with people
that I do know rather than discussing my thoughts on how a person might be.
