May 13th: Public Apology

Today's challenge is to issue a public apology to anything you want. Serious, funny, or creative. Unfortunately, this post may prove to be none of those things. (I'm so good at self-deprecation)

I'm sorry,

But, I'm not amused by people that use the Internet to create an entirely different persona for themselves. I can't take you seriously if I know you outside of the Twitter or Facebook, and you're a completely different person than you portray. Who are you trying to impress? A network of netizens that you will probably never meet? Do you feel validated by every like, retweet, reblog, and follower? If you're gonna spend all of your time on the Internet, then at least find a way to get paid doing it. 

I'm sorry that you can't be as "cool" in reality as you are online. I'm sorry that you value the opinions of strangers as much as you do. I'm sorry you spend your days in front of a screen making a persona that you can't live up to. 

Actually,
#notsorry Be you, no one can do it better.
