Let’s take a touch on social media. The real face of evil.

Why has social media taken over people’s lives? What ever happened to face to face connections and conversations?

Last Tuesday, WhatsApp went down, only for a few hours, then it was back up and running.

BUT, since when has it become such a big news worthy thing?

If the likes of WhatsApp has a bump in the road, or Facebook or twitter ect. goes down for an hour or more, people can’t function.

Most people struggle with real interactions.

Some mental health issues stem from social media. No really it does.

Don’t get me wrong, social media is awesome, it helps get things out there that before social media, noone would have known, it has it’s advantages, like when doing a blog it helps get more views. When raising awareness it helps spread a message. It may also help socially akeward people find friends.

On the flip side it is the basis of all evil.

For one it is the most common denominator of online bullying.

Some say the birth place of online bullying.

As a person who was bullied (until I stood up for myself) being bullied face to face is a hell of a lot better to deal with than online bullying.

Mostly do to the fact you knew who your bully was, and you could avoid that person, or kick their ass when you feel strong enough to do so, or at least until they bully you so much you get angry black out and come round with their blood soaked face on the floor underneath you (personal experience points gained on that one).

Online you can’t always put a face to the bully, and like many people, they are obsessed with social media because it rules their life, so you can’t always escape the fact, because everytime you log on (for eg, Facebook) you are faced with the coward keyboard warrior.

Let’s face it, that’s what they are at the end of the day, they have nothing better to do with their sad little lives, even when you block them they create new accounts.

The best thing you can do is ignore them, leave it on read then let them see they have no impact on your life.

You also have the birthplace of body disformia.

That’s where you have people thinking they do not look good enough.

Most of the blame goes out to these apps and filters, to show “what you should look like”, the developers of such things do not care because they are raking in the pennies.

The real victims of such bullshit are the people that use them, obviously they look at themselves and think they are not good enough, so let’s use this filter to make my body/face look better, or make my bum or boots or pecks look bigger.

Which then gives everyone else a false sense of “perfection”, noone can accept themselves for themselves anymore and it’s sad.

Not sad as in insulting, but sad as in if you can’t accept yourself how do you expect others to accept you for you.

Be yourself, not a filter.

Social media distorts the image of being a person, and that is dangerous, causing people to try be something they are not, causing people to hate themselves and causing people to be suicidal, especially with young people.

It isn’t even just limited to girls either, it happens to blokes too.

I know way too many people who want to be buff or “hench”, it’s not even about fitness anymore, it’s about trying to “look better”.

Then you get all these people fighting for “likes”, I see so many dumb ass stupid videos of people, and fuck me sideways, some of appalling.

There’s a lot of shit talking, and posing, and it’s actually scary how many likes these videos get.

I’ve seen videos of people showing off their cars, but most don’t even own it, in reality the bank do (yes if it’s on finance it isn’t yours), your only renting it until you have over payed, and by the time you do own it, it’s not even worth half as much.

Then you have these people who make videos of them doing normal shit, like shopping, and they have like a million likes, you know why?…..

Because they have their tits hanging half out their top, and they walk in such a way to make them bounce.

If the camera wasn’t on you, you’d look like a right that.

Hey, anything for a like eh?

The world has gone mad, and we are turning into a world of fucked upness (yes I’m making up a word, because I can, it is the Internet afterall).

Everyone wants to be famous, everyone begs for that extra like, people are degrading themselves to be accepted.

People are becoming lazy, noone wants to work anymore, barely anyone wants to do a full honest day’s work, too many people want to make money by being a “creator” or “influencer”.

That’s another fucked up word, “influemcer” but it’s true isn’t it?

These influencers are influencing people, but they are doing it so so wrong, it’s fucked up how you get people (and a lot of older people these days, let’s not ignore that) who thing the world works this way when it works totally different.

Life isn’t easy, and it shouldn’t be easy, life should be full of challenges, life should be the path to make you a better person, but it doesn’t do that at all, if creates everyone to be sour, it fills everyone hearts and heads with hatred and bitterness.

People think the world owes them something, especially when they haven’t done enough or experienced enough to even contemplate such a notion.

Thing go wrong, so they try blaming someone else, everyone fucks up, so stand up and own it.

Be big enough to admit when you make a mistake, but be bigger by doing better to correct that mistake.

Own up to your failures and become a better person by doing better.

You are HUMAN, you make mistakes, you fuck up, you hurt the people you love, you do human things.

Life is shit, just accept it for what it is, and it won’t seem as shit. Make the world a better place by being yourself, accept people for who they are, if you don’t like them stay away, but most of all …..

….. ACCEPT YOURSELF.

THEPLAINANDSIMPLEGUY

• The SantaBlog Series, Day 21. (There Is More Than One Way to Do Christmas)
  Christmas doesn’t arrive the same way everywhere. For some, it comes quietly, built on waiting and patience. For others, it arrives in heat and daylight, shaped by gathering rather than retreat. In some places it’s held firmly by faith, in others by memory, routine, or the simple need to stop for a moment and be together. None of these versions cancel each other out. They exist side by side, shaped by history, climate, belief, and community. This is a reminder that Christmas was never meant to look the same everywhere. It belongs to people, wherever they are, however they arrive at it.
• The SantaBlog Series, Day 20. (The Small Moments That Matter)
  Christmas isn’t really built on the big moments we imagine. It’s built on the smaller ones we almost miss. A message sent without knowing how it will land. A conversation that starts awkwardly and ends warmer than expected. Someone showing up when they didn’t have to. These moments don’t look like much at the time, but they linger long after the season has passed. They remind us that connection doesn’t need to be perfect to matter. Sometimes all it takes is reaching out, even when it feels uncomfortable, to quietly change the direction of things for the better.
• The SantaBlog Series, Day 19. (What Still Remains)
  Christmas has a way of reminding you who is missing, not loudly, but in quiet, ordinary moments. An empty chair. A laugh that stops short. A thought you still reach for out of habit. Loss doesn’t always mean someone is gone forever. Sometimes it’s the people who drifted, the ones still out there somewhere, no longer part of your everyday life. Christmas brings them all back. Not to hurt you, but to remind you how deeply they shaped you. They live on through you. They become a part of you. And that, somehow, makes the season heavier and warmer at the same time.
• The SantaBlog Series, Day 18. (How Santa Became What We Know Today)
  Santa did not become modern by accident. He was shaped by a world that changed faster than belief could keep up. As Christmas moved into public life, it needed a figure who asked nothing of faith and offered warmth instead. Santa became familiar because familiarity is comforting. He became friendly because harshness does not survive shared spaces. Commerce did not invent him, it refined him. And meaning was not lost, it was carried differently. This piece looks at how myth, culture, and repetition turned a drifting story into a modern icon, without stripping away the heart that keeps Christmas human.
• The SantaBlog Series, Day 17. (Christmas Is What We Choose to Be)
  Christmas has never lived in dates, decorations, or expectations. It lives in choice. The choice to care when it would be easier not to. The choice to stay soft in a world that encourages us to harden. The choice to believe that kindness still matters, even when the year has taken more than it gave back. We do not keep Christmas alive because it is fragile. We keep it alive because we choose to. Again and again. In small moments, quiet gestures, and decisions that never make the headlines but change how the season feels all the same
• The SantaBlog Series, Day 16. (Why We Still Believe in Christmas)
  We tell ourselves we’ve grown out of Christmas. That we’re too old, too tired, too realistic to believe in it the way we once did. But belief doesn’t disappear, it just changes shape. It moves from magic to meaning. From excitement to memory. From waiting for something to happen, to understanding why it mattered in the first place. Christmas survives because we need it to. Not as a fantasy, but as a reminder. Of warmth in dark months. Of kindness when the world feels sharp. Of hope, even when life has given us reasons to be careful with it.
• The Santablog Series, Day 15. (The Christmas We Don’t Always See.)
  Christmas has a way of amplifying whatever our lives already contain. Comfort feels warmer. Noise feels louder. And stability, when we have it, becomes so familiar that we stop noticing it altogether. We assume there will be warmth, food, and somewhere to return to, because for many of us, there always has been. But that certainty is not shared by everyone. While lights glow and music plays, there is another Christmas unfolding quietly alongside it. One shaped by loneliness, uncertainty, and being unseen. This season does not ask us for guilt. It asks us for awareness. And sometimes, noticing is where kindness begins.
• The SantaBlog Series, Day 14. (Why Reindeer Pull Santa’s Sleigh, and the Animals That Carried Winter Before Them)
  Reindeer were never a random choice. Long before Santa, they were symbols of survival, guidance, and movement through the darkest months of the year. In the far north, they meant life itself, carrying people across frozen landscapes when nothing else could. Other cultures had their own winter animals, goats, horses, wolves, even mythical birds, but the meaning was always the same. Winter was something you crossed with help, not alone. Santa’s reindeer didn’t start as decoration. They were inherited from older stories, older needs, and an ancient understanding of how humans survive the cold.
• The SantaBlog Series, Day 13. (When Comfort Becomes the Best Part of Christmas)
  There’s a quieter side to Christmas that doesn’t get enough love. The side that lives in soft lights, warm rooms, familiar films and doing absolutely nothing special. The nights where the world outside feels cold but the inside feels safe. You stop rushing, stop trying, stop proving anything, and just let December settle around you. Comfort becomes the best part of the season. Not because it’s exciting, but because it’s honest. After a long year, sometimes the most Christmassy thing you can do is slow down, wrap up, and allow yourself to be okay right where you are.
• THE SANTABLOG SERIES, DAY 12. (When the Christmas Spirit Jumps Out at You)
  There’s always one day in December when the Christmas spirit doesn’t ease in gently, it jumps out at you with a grin. You’re going about your usual routine, feeling half human and half exhausted, when something tiny shifts. A song, a smell, a moment in the cold air, and suddenly the season feels different. Lighter. Brighter. Warmer. It isn’t forced or planned, it just lands. And before you know it, you’re smiling at things you would normally ignore, noticing the lights more, and letting December feel magical again. Today is that day. The day the Christmas spirit catches you off guard.
