248) Edited Social Reality

These days we control our social reality. With a simple click of the x or an "unfollow," we can hide those whose updates are too inane, too frequent. We can de-tag and make it seem like that embarrassing picture was never taken, or that we were never someone's special someone. We can make emotional landmines disappear, make it look like our ex's never find someone else (selfishly, irrationally and hypocritically).

We actively choose what we do and do not see. Ignorance is bliss, and social media is no exception.


(We can make it look like we wear red lipstick and live in emo town. Taken back in NY. Here in CA, things are much merrier.)
