Haters That Follow You

So, if you know me or follow me you know that I say it like it is. I'm a true New Yorker. That's who I am, and that's who I will always be. I'm not gonna sugar coat shit for anyone, period.

I remember a friend of mine saying that if people didn't want you to talk bad about them, they should have acted better. I believe that's real, especially when you write a blog. Sorry, not sorry.

So recently, a member of my ex's family started to follow me on Instagram. Now we haven't spoken for at least 20 years. She cut me off like everyone of my ex-husband's family and friends did, and now here she is following me on social media. Why? Really, why? 

This reminds me of a few people who had cut me off when I got divorced. Then, years later, send me a friend request on Facebook. Here's my response. You're not my friend in real life, so why would you want to be my Facebook friend? 

Hey, this is the truth, and I am here calling a spade a spade. You haven't talked to me in the last 10 years, and now you want to be my Facebook friend? Get real. Mind you, this did not come with a message like, Hey. I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you in so long, or even I'm sorry, or anything. Nope, this was just a Facebook friend request, that's it. 

Like what? Do you want to stalk my page? You want to see what's going on in my life? What is it? Pick up the damn phone and call me if you're so interested. But no, you're not going to be my fake friend.

The only people I have on my Facebook page are real friends and family. I don't need thousands of random people checking my life out. 

My kids said I was rude for saying that, but my friends, my true friends, talk to me, they send me messages, pick up the phone and call me. I know they are not just here to stalk my page. I am a friend for life unless you give me the knife. I will not cut you off just because you got divorced. You are both my friends and will continue to be my friends, and I expect others to do the same.

So today, my "friends", I am here calling you out. Do me a favor, don't follow me, and don't send me random friend requests unless you plan to own your shit and be a real friend. Otherwise, you are just a hater following me, but hey, be my guest. Check out how great my life is without you, and then you can really hate on me.

"Be the change you want to see"
