The book of quite a few faces.

Facebook is one of those things that can trigger a lot of emotion, thoughts and memories, and all thanks to a website and a few brain-boxes.
It wasn't until September (when it dawned uni had finished) that it gradually became more and more trivial. If that's the correct word?
While at uni Facebook was one of the main sources of news, contacts and Saturday night entertainment. But back home it really just appears to be a giant invasion of privacy.
Its hard to write an opinion piece on something I found very hard to live without at the beginning of the year, but I really think there is an element of childishness about it.
There's constantly irrelevant information displayed and what do you do with this knowledge? The answer is nothing.
I remember reading an article on it a few years ago where the writer said, you know you're in trouble when you start calling your friends by their full names, including their middle names. And this is true. You end up knowing more than is good for you.
Last year I dated a guy who was renown for being a ladies man and every other Facebook photo was of him and different girls. They was no evidence to suggest these girls weren't just friends, but as I flicked through his photos I became more and more paranoid.
It is because of things like this that make Facebook (in my eyes) too intrusive. Everyone has a past, but why splash it to the world, especially if its a past that you're not proud of.
So Facebook gives you the ability to check up on your ex's, laugh at their weight gain, hideous new partners and disastrous dress sense, but at what expense? All that does is keeps you in the past by reminding you of what was.
Why not live for the future, for the present and for the now!
Facebook should be used to store photos and videos and nothing else. Get out there, meet up with your friends, take new photos, make new videos and live for the moment.
There's too little spontaneity in the world as it is and staring at screen want solve any problems (or help your degree or A Levels!)
But above all life is too short. You only have one shot at this the way you want and don't relay your life to the sentence 'What's on your mind?' Stop thinking about it and do it.
