My Facebook feed reminds me why I left home in the first place.

Lots of God and Jay-sus stuff, and "are you socialist or are you Merikan?!" stuff.

Maybe I should refer to my FB feed as the place that reminds me that, as bad as my day might be going, it could always be worse. Thus, it's a valuable element in my life.

but I do understand now why I parted ways with many of my old friends and family members. It's bittersweet - it's nice to text each other and chat, and see photos of "look at me now!", but it's sad to remember the arguments and the bad times.

So, you know, whatev.

it lets me know how really nuts a lot of the people I grew up with are.

On the negative side, I found out MOST of the people I grew up with are NUTS!
