I used to rant on social media—about everything, about everyone. I still rant until now but, unlike before, I am more cautious now. I stopped ranting like crazy, when I realized nobody really cares. I was just parading my problems to the world that was just probably laughing at me. No, they're not even laughing. They don't care. It's okay, though. I don't need people to care, anyway. I learned this the hard way, but through the years, I have learned that I am my own validation. Social media is a great wall of self-expression, but you have to learn its boundaries. You can celebrate all you want, rant all you want, etc., but you shall never seek validation from people online. If people show their care, lucky for you. If they don't, who cares? You shall never care.
I have read Will Grayson, Will Grayson written by John Green and David Levithan way back in college, and this book has affected me so much in so many ways. I promised myself to follow the two very simple rules.
Crying is a different story, though. I cry myself to sleep every night. I drown myself in self-loathe and pathetic imaginations and expectations. I find pleasure in pain, this is why. I don't really have something to really cry about. Well, I do, but I'll cross the bridge when I get there. Right now, I am living a harmonious life. (lol)
Anyway, I just focus on the two rules. These past years, I have been practicing the art of limiting the depth of my rants on social media. Sometimes, I don't even rant anymore. I just type them out and never publish. When I do rant, I always make sure to mix it with humor. Like I said, I find pleasure in pain. I laugh in the face of danger.
As the title goes, this is my ultimate rant. You know what really grinds my gears right now? I can't even rant anything about my boyfriend because, there's nothing to rant about. Of course, our relationship is far away from being perfect. Both us are perfectly imperfect. But, I just couldn't bring myself to ranting about him, about our relationship. I don't know why. I do post about the happy parts of our relationship. But, when it comes to the sad and painful parts, I almost never do. It's not like I want to. Not to brag or anything, but I think I have finally worked on my ranting on social media.
There you have it. I am a person who used to rant a lot, and my ultimate rant right now is I couldn't even rant that much anymore. Pretty pointless to some, but I think this is one of the things I listed before that I should work on and now I've finally achieved it.
