The other day, when the sun came out, I decided to go to the "one" beach that is available from where I live in East Big Island. Unlike the other Hawaiian islands that have so many beaches to choose from, east side of Big Island only has "one" beach you can lay out in Lower Puna.
Well that presents itself a problem when you only have one beach, as you'll see the same people OVER and OVER again. Not that I don't want to say hi or not, but sometimes, you just want to go to the beach and just be "by yourself". And on that day, that was exactly what I wanted to do.
But unfortunately, people that knew me approached me so I had to greet them and say hi.
But one of the encounters ended up being a miscommunication, where later on that day, he messaged me saying he regretted meeting me at the beach thinking I had some gripe against him.

Let me say this, making ASSUMPTIONS IS TERRIBLE!
Don't make assumptions.
I never had a gripe on him or anything.
Later that day, I checked on his Facebook profile and noticed that he had several days of posts, wondering why he didn't get invited to events or such.
And that's the problem with Facebook: People are comparing each other!
Facebook has somehow become some kind of reality for people.
And its sad that somehow friendships are based off of Facebook?
So I deleted my Facebook. Fuck 'em.
It's unhealthy to have that. I should probably do it with several other social media platforms, but Facebook is the worst.
And with that, I choose SOLITUDE.
Never in my wildest imaginations would I have thought solitude to be a blessing, but you know what, the only person I trust is myself.
Can't trust any other entity such as government, friends, or sometimes even family to help you.
You yourself can only help yourself.
