Daily Prompt: Do Not Disturb

How do you manage your online your online privacy? Are there certain things you do not post in certain places? Information you’ll never share online? Or do you assume information about you is accessible anyway?

I like blogging, and am not interested to register on Facebook, and other things out there.It serves me no purpose, I am doing fine without getting involved with the social networks.

I write as much as I need to about myself , I feel good this way. I’ve been told I can increase my followers if I’m involved with the social networks. At this moment I have enough followers anymore will take up too much of my time, which will be unmanageable.

I do not assume anything, who knows me and who doesn’t is not my concern.

I have a few good friends who are bloggers, I enjoy reading their post and hope they like mine.

365 Writing Prompts: Fight or flight

When forced with confrontation ,do you head for the hills or walk straight in?Was there ever a time you wished you’d had the opposite reaction?

This incident happened when I was about eight years old. I was playing with my friends during a recess break in my school. We stopped playing for a few minutes, one of the girls younger than us, came running to us, she had an orange she was unable to peel, she handed it over to my classmate to remove the skin.

My classmate took the orange and started peeling it, I thought wow, she’s actually helping the girl, this classmate was not known for her good deeds. she was always mean, so I was amazed to see the change in her. After peeling the orange she threw the orange on the sandy playground. The little girl started to cry. I was appalled by this behavior. Meanwhile my classmate left, I was angry and I said,”( badtameez) ill-mannered.”

Someone went and tattled to the classmate, what I had said. She came immediately and asked me,”Did you say I am ill-mannered?”

I replied, “Yes” I’m not sure what her next move would have been, the school bell rang and we had to return to our classrooms.

I think about this incident even now and feel, not all the kids are innocent, some are really mean!
