Honesty is not the best policy; it is the only policy.
In most cases.
Obviously, if your loved one asks your opinion on a new haircut that makes her look like some sort of alien or if she asks how you liked that roast beast you could barely choke down, or whether you like the new dress that reminds you of a table cloth your mom had when you were a kid, you might not want to swallow too much truth serum before answering.

- The quality of one’s day is directly related to the number of FB likes or retweets he or she got.
- There is nothing so uproariously hilarious as a meme that reads, “I don’t always (fill in the blank), but when I do (fill in the blank.)
- The purpose of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, FourSquare, etc is to prove, whether to myself or to others, that mine is a wonderful life after all. Oh, and to stay connected with the people I care about. Yeah. That.
I don’t always write about social media, but when I do, I write…stay thirsty for truth, my friends.
