<\/a>Nothing gets under my skin more than “FML” statuses that people post. \u00a0In fact I hate them so much, that as I go through my Facebook Feed and just quickly read them, I have to stop and say a prayer that lets God know I was just reading that and didn’t say that myself about my life.<\/p>\n

I know to most of you that probably sounds crazy or\u00a0silly, but it’s the truth. \u00a0The biggest reason I despise it\u00a0is that it’s often said about very trivial things. \u00a0You know like asking for no mayo on your burger and getting one with mayo. \u00a0Sometimes it could be something more, say your car skidding on ice even though you did not hit anyone else or receive any injuries.\u00a0That should not have a “FML” status but a “Thank God” or “Life is Good” status.<\/p>\n

There are so many people struggling just to live, those with life-threatening illnesses, who are in pain and still fighting with every ounce of strength left to make it another day. \u00a0They are not posting “FML” statuses, they know how precious” life is and they are thankful for every minute. \u00a0To post a status that you missed the bus or were late to work with “FML” is just crapping on your life. Maybe it was destiny that you missed that bus, perhaps getting on that bus would have led to something very bad for you. \u00a0I believe every thing happens for a reason so if you didn’t catch the bus, try to look at it in a different way. Value your life no matter how hard it may seem at times. Never think\u00a0it’s not worth it, because you need to remember there are people all over, who would trade places with you in a heartbeat. \u00a0Parents who have to stand by helplessly while their child takes their\u00a0last breath, moms who have to say goodbye to their families way before their time, dads who will never get to show their son how to shave.<\/p>\n

Life is precious, life is fragile, life is fleeting, please don’t put such little value on yours. \u00a0Cherish your life instead. \u00a0I am not saying you can’t post about having a bad day or something bad happening. \u00a0Of course you can share that and get some encouragement and hugs from friends. \u00a0It’s just the “FML” that you need to lose. \u00a0In the words of Max Ehrmann,\u00a0\u201cWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,\u00a0it is still a beautiful world.\u00a0Be cheerful.\u00a0Strive to be happy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
