Drink More Water & Mind Your Business

In a world of endless Reality TV shows, Snapchat, Facebook and other various live media outlets, it really stuns me that people still desire to seek business that isn’t there’s. We live in the era of constant updates and receiving information in the now. We are flooded with dog filtered selfies and #RelationshipGoals. I can literally log onto Instagram and see all the private parts I desire (if I so choose). I mean, we now get live twitter coverage directly from the oval office, literally.

I completely understand that it is human nature to seek the unknown. However, I do NOT understand why so many feel entitled to be informed of my business.

The past week I had a visitor, a friend from the states. We had an amazing time and I enjoyed playing tour guide. To commemorate and capture our time together, there were many pictures taken (obviously because, lightskin). One of these pictures made it to my social media. It was of the two of us, posed, in front of a very popular Toronto sight. As if things could get anymore cliché, I paired this photograph with a caption curtesy of the Six God himself, Drake.

I don’t mind assumptions, or perhaps I am just used to them. But what I do hate is when someone determines their insinuation is a fact. One of the comments under the picture came from someone who not only doesn’t follow me, but is a notorious gossip. This person also screen captured the image and informed others that I was now “In a relationship”. Again, while a little annoyed I was more confused. I am having an amazing time, enjoying my Caucasian-themed life, why does there need to be more?

I realized my issue wasn’t with the assumption, as the picture could easily be mistaking for a “bae” pic. Rather with people period. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME! Even if I was with this person romantically, why do you care? I have perfected the art of keeping my love life from the internet, and for some reason it has become a constant topic for many.

Why are we fascinated with who someone is fucking? Until my sex life makes a Kim K debut, it will remain none of your concern.

As to keep people out of my business I have compiled a list of things they can focus on:

1)      The current president of the United States.

2)      Your Credit Score.

3)      Your Skin.

4)      Why your boyfriend of 5 years has a 2-year-old son, while you’re childless.

5)      How many licks does it take to you get to the center of a tootsie pop.

6)      YOUR SKIN.

7)      YOURSELF.

8)      Learning the difference between their/there/they’re.

9)      Is she 5’2” or Fine Too?

10)   Why your pee and your teeth are the same colour.
