I am 25 years old. I log on to Facebook to keep in touch with friends in different countries, for certain groups etc. It's really useful in a lot of ways. But there's this trend among people my age. I don't know how to explain it. Everyday there's some damned inspirational quote, or they are giving advice to the world, or writing some cryptic message so that others will ask "what does this mean?".
Here's some examples:
"Catch a fallen star and put it in your pocket. Save it for a rainy day."
"I ask those questions n I'm not afraid cuz it's not coming out of a bad place."
"Admit your faults, don' try to cover them up and the right ppl will respect u for it. In turn, they'll give u a head start. Mark my word."
And multiply this hundreds of times a day, some people posting this advice or inspirational stuff 10 times a day. Why? We're in our 20's, we have next to nothing figured out...it seems so ridiculous to me.
Now that my frustration has been vented, I just want to ask: why? Why these inspirational quotes and advice and cryptic messages? Is it to look worldly? Smart? To grab attention?
Have any of you noticed this??
Just wanted to vent my frustration. And see if anyone else has noticed this trend.
