blocked!

I don’t know about you, but I love the blocking tool.  Whether it’s on my phone or social media, it has been very useful.  It speaks volumes.  It tells people they are not wanted or welcomed.  I believe access to me and my space is a privilege. Life is too short for drama; I choose peace. Folk who disturb my peace, lose the privilege.  Zero access.

I’ve had discussions with friends on whether to block or not. Some said they want their haters to “see” how good they’re doing.    I disagree. For what? I don’t feel the need to impress anyone and they’re just looking for something to pick apart.

Nothing irks people more than feeling irrelevant.  Nothing makes people feel more irrelevant than being removed from your social media.  It’s not petty.  It’s peace.  Haters be gone.

I’ve also had the argument that blocking is immature.  Again, I disagree.  Personally, I only block if I know for sure I’m completely done interacting with someone; in life and on my timeline. If I block you on social media and I see you on the street; guess what?  I won’t be initiating conversation.  It isn’t immature to move on, to let go or to detoxify. 

I don’t believe in blocking and unblocking.  All that back and forth is ridiculous.  Everyone is not meant to be in your life forever.  When you burn the bridge; don’t look back. 

No one has the right to NOT be blocked.  Your feed/page is yours.  You’re allowed to share or not share your content as you please.

Lastly, we all take social media a little too seriously.  No one is posting their ‘worse’ life.  It’s always their best life.  Which may be a lie.  No one is happy all the time. No one has perfect children or perfect relationships.  I don’t post the selfies that show bags under my eyes or my hair undone.  It’s a virtual psychological playground and you get to choose with whom you’d like to play. 

Get those people who don’t like you in real life off your timeline.
