Contrary to popular belief, it’s valuable to have self control and discernment. We all need editing skills. There is never a need to call a girl a “THOT” or make fun of someone in a moment of humiliation. We don’t have to comment on everything that everyone does. It’s obnoxious. And honestly, it’s extremely vain to think that every thought that seeps out of our mouths is pure gold. When it comes to celebrities, it’s the absolute worst. I was guilty of this too- weighing in on stardom. Then I realized how these people live their lives under a microscope. We’ve all made mistakes because we’re human. The only difference between them and us… is fame. But at the end of the day, isn’t it pathetic to be obsessed with people who don’t even know your name? Who don’t even think about you?

A lot of the time, when we’re on Twitter or Instagram, we feel like we’re in a bubble. It can feel like a secluded space and we think that what we say won’t go far. However, all it takes is a couple of retweets and reblogs …and a trend starts. We have to stop exerting our opinion recklessly while being oblivious to the repercussions. But like I said, dialogue is necessary. While we have the power to influence trends, it’s important to acknowledge that celebrities shape culture. They create normalcy. It’s your human right to have an opinion and advocate for what you feel is right or wrong in the world. However, consider if trolling on the internet is contributing to the betterment of mankind.
