The Lonely Status
image credit There is something that bugs me to no end. It appeals to my compassionate, bleeding heart nature and forces action even when none would normal be given. It is, the lonely status. To me, there is nothing sadder than a lonely Facebook status update. The kind of one that was written three hours ago, and has not got a single like or a comment.
