Let Me Do This Right Quick in meh...

My baby sister and I kind of had a confrontation about the press conference thing. She made a post (I effin hate Facebook) about when you go through something and God brings you out of it, you have a testimony to tell. I agree with that statement. However, that video gave thanks a couple of times, then another sister was fixing her hair, scanned the room, gave thanks, a holy dance that seemed staged, then baby sister singing. Like I said yesterday it was full of ADHD moments and giggling it served no purpose.

Then I thought about this:
Not trying to downplay the God factor in anything, but the procedure was not a problem. The condition was fixable and it was fixed. I praise that he made it through, but it wasn’t a big deal to begin with. Well, kind of a big deal, but not enough to garner THIS. When someone is ill, someone is going through something that is close to me, I don’t blast it. That’s just my thing. Any time I speak, I think, am I saying something about it to get attention for me? Because they don’t know the person I’m speaking about. It’s not about me. I may tell a few close friends and after that I update them about it. I guess I need a little support, but the person going through needs support. Do you understand what I’m trying to say? I know what I’m trying to say, but it’s seemingly jumbled. To announce something to a bunch of people, is it to inform or to get the “aww…we love you” type comments? I come here to vent and relate my life stories. I can just as well do this in a paper journal, but I’ve got so many of them sprawled all over my life full of starts and stops. ::smh:: I don’t know.

Like my cousin. I recently asked him when his baby was due. Just last week, the babies died. I didn’t even know they were twins. He was lamenting on Facebook and didn’t really say what was wrong. So I reached out personally and he told me. Do I do a Facebook Live video saying, “We will trust in God to bring our family through. Our dear cousin has just lost his twin babies. Please pray for our family.” Now I get that some people share their grief, but the majority of people on Facebook and their “friends” don’t even know each other. I think I can actually boast that 95% of the people on my Facebook I am either related to and we actually talk. I am very careful who I let into my world. So like when I did post that my sister died, whenever I feel emotional about her, they know how I’m feeling because they know what my sister meant to me.

But what do I know? I’m old school and old fashioned I guess.
Maybe I’m selfish.
My ways are different. That’s just how it is these days I suppose.

::shrugs:: Oh well. Can’t win them all.

Kindest regards,
Sister
