Social networks, build or break relationship?

Talked to a friend few days back. While talking to her, I began to think that social networking is breaking rather than bridging the relationship. Well, as we can see, people nowadays are more glued to their social networks. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blog and many more. Yes, social networks bring people together in many ways. But, I am seeing quite frankly that the break down of relationships on social networks start with first building a relationship then later after a relationship is built, people can do things intentionally or unintentionally to break down relationships. Hmm, may be because we had set in our mind that those social networks are just a wall. A wall where you can write anything you feel, anything you think, and if anyone else doesn't believe in what you do, they can remove you from their friends list. I have seen many persons go through this situation.

Some people use social networking to help vent their frustrations with life, with friends, with anything. So do I. But, we forget that the public could see what we have wrote on our wall. Sometimes, it hurts many hearts. Sometimes, it gave false sense of what's going on. It's happened to me last week. I tweet something and someone had false sense on me. I can tweet back and marah-marah, I also can post a status on Facebook and she also deserve a post in my blog, but I don't. I want text her personally tapi takut makin keruh. So, I just let her be in her own world.
"Well, I could be angry but you're not worth a fight. I've count to ten and I'm feeling alright. And besides, I'm moving on." Senyum. 
Oh, and yeah. This WhatsApp last seen thiggy. My Goodness. This functionality is really such a 'mood killer'. You can know if people ignore you and not reading your messages. Many relationships have ended because of it.
Note to self-- do not over-share.
This one fine day. In this week. I sat. And think back. Why this stoopid me shared every.single.thing.with.the.world? Why do I let myself publicize my activities. Cries. If any of you see me sharing any unreasonable things, bite my leg. Please.

Between dreams and reality

I just came back from a conference in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. InshaAllah, I'll write about it later in next post. But, I didn't just bring back a lot of small pieces paper (read: receipts), I also bring back many things in my head. Many things to think about. Many things to consider before I make a decision.

Between dreams and reality.
Between ambitions and responsibility.

Can't they match to each other?

And I wonder, what is Allah trying to show me...
