Stop "liking" me and just like me

And now an interruption from the regularly scheduled programming of uplifting posts for a slightly darker one. This isn't a rant really, just a plea for people to become more genuine. Put your money where your mouth is. Do what you say, and say what you do. Be real. All of that. 


It isn't enough to just click "like" and feel like you've done something. If someone posts about their upcoming (insert self-promotional event here), they don't just need your "likes", they are probably hoping you'll actually show up. It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there, and it takes literally no effort to click "like." I'm thrilled to know people care about me, but sometimes I need a deeper caring, a less superficial caring. I'm not saying I'm not also guilty of this. I am saying that sometimes I need a hug, not a wall post. Sometimes I need a friend, not a friend request. Sometimes I need my friends to drag their ass to another borough, even if it isn't convenient, because the fact is, I would do the same for them. Give a little more, and take a little less.  -end rant-
