(fanfic from Harry’s POV)
Back in the days, when I was really young and didn’t know better, I did it too because I wanted to be like the people I was friends with.
But now I’ve grown and I’ve started understanding myself and my likes and dislikes better and you know what? I hate discussing about someone’s personal life and don’t encourage it when my friend does it.
I’d rather talk about me, what’s happening in my life, something new that I learnt or like, someone’s talent and skill, the stars, the moon, movies, books, the beach, how beautiful I find someone when they laugh, or maybe appreciate someone for something they do or their strength, music and endless similar topics.
After dealing with everything I’ve dealt with, I don’t like discussing about celeb’s personal life as well. Because just imagine, you go out on a date or you kiss someone and the next day it’s all over the news, will you like it? Just imagine your ex from 10 years ago whom you hate now and finally forgot about and you open Instagram and there are pictures of you with him/her all over, will you like it? isn’t it absolutely traumatic?
Did you get the idea now when I put you in their shoes? It’s ruthless to break down someone’s personal life to a point that they cannot get up from bed.
Unless they are willingly sharing it in a medium that is public, we should just overlook it and not intrude.
I don’t think I can change anything or anyone, but this is just me and my likes and dislikes.
