Our obsession with celebrity drama is distracting us from what really matters most. For instance, when news that singer Taylor Swift and football star Travis Kelce got engaged, it sparked an uproar on social media. People were saying things like “They got engaged too soon” or “They aren’t even a good match.” Others were overly invested and excited about this news. This is one of the many cases where people look too deep into situations revolving around celebrities or well-known figures.
Many also pressured Kylie Kelce, Travis’ sister-in-law, to address this engagement publicly and congratulate the couple. They aren’t even sure if she congratulated them privately, so why does the public congratulation matter? People do this so they have something to feed off of. Maybe they wanted a public congratulation for an accomplishment and didn’t get one.
People often worry about topics that aren’t worthy of their time or healthy to consume. They roam online, feeding into the news and information that’s put out. People are drowning in topics that don’t revolve around their lives too much. It’s almost like an escape from reality so they have something else to fixate or focus on. They should try and get out more, explore the world and find new things to do so they don’t lose a sense of reality or what is important.
Another recent example of people overly caring about others’ relationships online can go back to Mariah the Scientist and her ex-boyfriend Jeffery Williams, also known as Young Thug. When rumors came out that Young Thug cheated on her, many people online went crazy. They also began leaking audio messages from him cheating from jail. This is just people online instigating and being entirely too invested.
When celebrities get into situations that involve the cops, people tend to take “detective” work into their own hands. A recent media breaker involves David Anthony Burke, also known as D4vd. A young girl, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, was found dead in his car trunk and although he wasn’t immediately considered a suspect by the Los Angeles Police Department, many people were convinced he did kill her and put her in his truck.
He was touring around the time the body was found and his car was allegedly abandoned. People online found pictures of him with this girl, videos, streams, resurfaced messages and stories posted on the media and even showed up at his door tampering with evidence.
People, sign off and live your own life. Stop spending so much time on social media obsessing over nonsense and experience reality.
