Why smartphones (sometimes) disgust me

 
Picture

Hello beautiful people.
Well for today's post I thought I would talk about a topic which I have discussed with some friends and let me say not just one time. I don't know if you can already think of what I will say in this post and if you think the same but here is my opinion on smartphones.

Okay so to start this post I have to make clear that I really don't hate smartphones in general. It's more the way people use it.
I mean, I see that it is amazing that you can call people wherever you are and  whenever you want. Also I've often used maps because sometimes you just don't know where you are at and such an app can be extremely useful (talking from experience).

But even though smartphones seem to be so useful there is also something I don't like about them. And as I already said this is how people use their phones.
When you are with a friend or even a group of friends, why do you still have to text with another friend. Like, you meet in a café with friend A because you haven't really hung out latley. Suddenly friend B is texting you.
You now have two choices: 1. You text friend B back and start
                                        a conversation with them
                                        or
                                        2. You tell friend B that you are
                                        currently hangin out with friend A
                                        and you will text back later.

I would be really interested in what you would do so be sure to leave a comment.

If you decide to start a conversation with friend B I don't really see the reason in hanging out with someone else. Or you could've just met in the group of three.
Personally I don't like it when my friends are coming over and they are constantly texting someone else. I mean what is the reason behind meeting then anyway. Maybe I am a little paranoid but to me it seems like talking to your other friends is more important to you than talking to me.

Of course there are situations where I totally get that you have to text or call someone, like your parents about when you will come home or things like that. It's also ok for me if you tell the friend sitting next to you who you are texting and what it is about, so that both of you take part in the same conversation.

I can't stand it when I see friends hanging out together but each of them is talking to another friend on the phone. Am I weird? Or do you thiink the same way?

Why can't we talk just like people have always used to?
I'm much to shy but if you would be more confident then I would tell everyone to not use their phone while their in my house, only if it is really needed.
Also I want to say that I am proud of one of my friends. Whenever we are together she puts her mobilephone into her pocket and does not care if someone is texting. When I'm with her I have her attention and I really enjoy to hang out like we used to in primary school when there were no smartphones.

Well this is more or less my opinion on the use of smartphones. Make sure to leave a comment telling me your thoughts about this.

I will talk to you soon,

I never wanted to sound arrogant

Hello beautiful people.
Have you ever been judged wrong? Do you know what people say about you but you know exactly that this is not the true?
Well, sometimes people have a false interpretation of our feelings andd actions.

 A few years ago my friend and I told each other what we really liked about each other and what we didn't like that much. We said that we were going to be completely honest and so she told me that I sometimes seem to be a bit arrogant. Since then I always thought about what I say. But that is not the point.

Lately I've thought about that conversation. I realized that sounding arrogant was never what I wanted. I love seeing people happy. I love when they tell me what makes them happy so that I can be happy with them.
When my friend told me that she was going to New York and how happy she was about that I instantly felt happy for her. I ddon't know if this is weird but it just makes me happy if the people I love feel happy.

This is why I tell people what makes me happy. I don't want to sound arrogant at all. I don't want to brag by telling people what makes me happy. I don't want tobe better than the others.

I want people to feel happy with me. I want them to feel as happy as I feel and I want them to be excited with me.

It even makes me a little sad when my friends don't tell me if something exciting happens to them. They don't do it because they don't want to brag about it. But for me it's asign that they are happy and that is everything I want.

So I just want everyone to know that I don't want to be arrogant or egoistic. I want to be happy and want my friends to be happy with me. But just as much as I want to feel happy for them.

Have you ever been judged wrong?
Does it also make you happy if your friends are happy?

I will talk to you soon,

Concerts make me happy

Hello beautiful people,
please don't call me crazy right now but I went to another concert. I hope it doesn't bother you but this year is kind of my year of concerts so...
This time I went to see 5 Seconds Of Summer. I've been in love with this band for about two years now so I thought it would be time to see them live now. After the concert I felt so happy that I again instantly wanted to talk to you about it. This gave me the idea to write this post.

I always post what makes other people happy and today I want to tell you about one thing that makes me happy.

CONCERTS

I don't know if you have ever been to a concert or if you don't understand what I will say. But most of you will probably know that feeling.
You are standing there waiting for the act to finally come on stage. You already feel extremely happy because you realize that you are actually going to see your favourite band or singer.
When they come on stage I just can't stop screaming out of happiness. (I mean it was really crazy this time because it was such a big arena and I was just so excited)

During the performance you see that there is a real person standing on the stage. You could just go up on the stage and touch them. (Please don't think I'm crazy right now) The person you whose music you have listened to so much and who you have seen on pictures so often is right in front of you.
Also I love how you can kind of see how they really are. In interviews you don't see anything since they cut things out and don't publish all the footage. But when they are on stage you see everything. You can see if they smile or if they don't have fun at all.

After realizing all of that I can't stop smiling. I mean no matter how big the arena is and how many people there are, you are one of them. You are really there to see this performance.
Nobody will ever see what you just saw. Maybe you see a funny moment the others didn't see.
It is so different to see someone live after seeing them on screen so many times.

All of this is why going to concerts makes me happy.
Have you ever been to a concert?
Were you as happy as I am or am I just weird again?

Talk to you soon,

The urge to hug someone

Hello beautiful people,

so recently I had a really weird feeling and I don‘t know if it is just me being weird or if it’s totally normal so I thought I would talk to you about it.

I was standing somewhere with my friends and while they were talking I was thinking about different stuff and I realized that in about one year I will probably live somewhere else and we will all study at different universities. That’s when I suddenly had the urge to hug them.

I didn’t want it to be one of those hugs where you just hug each other really quickly but I wanted it to be a real hug.

When I hug people (and I don’t mean to greet them) I get this feeling of being safe and that they will somehow stay in my life forever even though I know most of them probably won't. It feels like they can’t leave me and everything will be alright. And at that moment I just needed one of those hugs. I wanted to feel safe and I wanted to feel as if they would never leave.

A hug can comfort people and it can just mean everything to someone. 

Also when somebody does something really sweet I just instantly get the feeling that I should give that person a hug. Personally I think hugs are a great thing and I love hugging people in general. Hugging a person you really like or love is a great feeling.

Now tell me: 

Am I weird?

Do you also sometimes have the urge to hug someone?

Do you always know why you want to hug someone or does this feeling come out of nowhere? 

I'm really looking forward to reading your comments and I will talk to you soon,

Norina xx
