I’m on facebook (who isn’t, really?). There’s a meme going around. For the first five people that sign up, you must create something handmade for them and send it by mail by the end of the year.

Which has got me thinking. It seems that people only do things like this when there’s a meme. I remember as a kid, we’d do stuff for each other all the time, when memes didn’t even exist. We’d do it because we wanted too, and didn’t expect a damn thing back.

In today’s society, it seems like everybody feels pressured to do something in return on someone’s good deed.

Also, when I personally try to do nice stuff for my loved ones, it is seriously irksome to have them refuse to your face. And yet, they can do whatever they please and buy me things. Makes things a bit one-sided. I understand, but still. Stop with the social obligations already.

I have wanted to send a bit of something to my friends for years now, but it seems like I’m too lazy and unmotivated to do it. Then when I actually get motivated to do it, I don’t have the money to send the package.

What’s a girl to do?
