had a Twitter meltdown, kinda. It wasn’t blood curdling or bone chilling like mine typically are, but it was a meltdown, somewhat.<\/p>\n
She quit Twitter in a huff and then came back with an agitated rant about society and the superficiality of everything, these days.<\/p>\n
When she quit Twitter earlier, I thought about tweeting her some advice. Here’s what I wrote out in a brainstorm:<\/p>\n
————————————<\/p>\n
Hmmmm… it might be better to pace yourself, rather than quitting 100%. From here, you look too invested, I think.<\/p>\n
You have about as many tweets as Selena, Taylor and Katy P. combined. Seriously- 15K is ALOT of tweets. <\/p>\n
I think social media is best used infrequently, as a supplement. That way it won’t affect you too much. Just my 2 cents.<\/p>\n
————————————<\/p>\n
I think that’s still good advice, and I think I’ll take in myself, and not tweet her. I’m sure she can figure it out as she matures. She’s still very young, and so Twitter will probably factor into what she does regardless of what I say to her.<\/p>\n
Looking at everything now, it seems like Christina’s death is still affecting things. It is for me, at least, and I’m sure that it is for Demi and the others, too. <\/p>\n
IMHO, you don’t get over something like that quickly. Getting over a death takes time, and in the case of a sudden, violent death, it takes more than time; it takes adjustment. After something like what happened with Christina, you can’t just pick yourself up and go on, say, like you can after a friend’s death from a long battle with lung cancer.<\/p>\n
I’m not 100% sure of what Demi and the others are thinking, but I can imagine what I would be thinking were I in their place, right now, and I can tell you that I would be questioning everything. Because after that kind of sudden shock, what else can<\/i> you do?<\/p>\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n
It’s unfortunate, in our society, how we’re expected to just pick up and move along after some kind of trauma, like an unexpected death. It’s like people don’t even want to listen- like listening would somehow damage them<\/em>. Like hearing about others’ burdens would rub off something bad on them, somehow.<\/p>\n It’s unfortunate. <\/p>\n Well, I kind of got off topic, but there it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" had a Twitter meltdown, kinda.
