I hate that my in-laws worry so much about what I post on my, and I quote "MY" facebook wall. I am not stupid, I know all about the privacy options.

I have several categories for people; Close Friends, Family, Church, Acquaintances, High School, Trusted Friends, & even a Restricted list. I know which people will be most offended by my posts and therefore I will enable the block/hide feature on a certain post to keep from causing any hurt feelings. Well, apparently there are adults out there that, I assume, get some sort of fix from acting like a high school drama queen, because I continue to find myself trying to explain why I posted a certain picture, or comment due to someone calling up my in-laws to say "OMG, Did you see what Tiffany put on her facebook wall?!", seriously, this has happened, and more than once.

Slowly but surely this is filtering out my fake friends from my true friends, so it does have its perks. However, it's the headache of being told how to live my life by someone that isn't living it. I have been told who I should be, how I should live my life, how I should raise my kids for way too long. It's my life to live however I see fit, who I should be is MYSELF.

 I have always been the type of person to say and/or do things embarrassing to myself, and frankly I think people love me for being my silly self. It's called having a "Tiffany" moment for a reason lol, and if I am not embarrassed why should anyone else be? If what I write doesn't have any negative affect on anyone else it shouldn't matter what it is I say.

Life is a learning process. We make mistakes and we learn from them. I'm not perfect, I've never claimed to be. I just want to be able to look back when I am an Old Lady & tell my grandchildren how I overcame my obstacles while staying true to who God made me.

I realized after several heated arguments with my spouse that I am wrong to post on my facebook wall about things his family does to intentionally piss me off. It's a boundary that I have crossed a few times, mainly out of anger, frustration and hurt feelings. I made a promise tonight to him that I would no longer discuss publicly with my friends on facebook as long as I was allowed to BLOG about it :)
