Social media, not so

I was once a person who would express my feelings over social media. I would have done my PDA on Facebook and Instagram, and my emotion vented out on Twitter.

I was all wrong.

Yes, everyone does that nowadays. You won't be any surprised to have your Instagram filled with a-tad-eyesoring posts on Valentine's Day. You would have at least a friend who posts "Happy xx Monthsary!" Okay, I know it's a milestone in your relationship. Then again, how many of us take the time off our electronic devices and spend quality time with our loved ones?

It was a mistake to "announce" a relationship on the Internet.
First, you will be centre of attention. If you are comfortable with it, it's all fine. If you don't, you will, somehow, feel that you shouldn't have posted it in the first place.
Next, everyone knows that you are in a relationship, be it your friends, your teachers, your uncle, your aunty and the list goes on. You will get teased during family gatherings, which I hated it much as I have always been the youngest among all my cousins.
This is followed by doing PDA out of impulse, you would not have the rationale in doing it appropriately. In the context of posting about your relationship so frequently that your posts flooded other people's feed. Without doubt, I would be very annoyed if I am the latter. I am also the person who would unfriend or unfollow the person.

However, this is my piece of thought.
Loving and liking someone are distinctly different. If you love someone, you love him from the bottom of your heart, he's of utmost importance to you, and your closed ones will be ever-supportive of the relationship. But, if you like someone, you would like him just because you like him.

Don't jump into the bandwagon of having a significant others because everyone has one. Just be yourself. Over time, you would be able to prove that you have much to explore, to learn and to grow. It's not a mistake to be on your own two feet, because it would have proven others and yourself that you are stronger than you think. No one is to doubt who you are. A person who love you would appreciate who you are, accept who you have been and take pride of your achievement, just like how your family members and best friends would do.
