Since I've known myself, I've been a private person and I love my space a lot. I hate to be intruded and I will never be an intruder in another person's life, I usually mind my business and know only what you tell me. Even if you give me your phone to hold, I will never check your messages let alone operate it.
For me, it's totally wrong to pry into people's private life without the person's permission. I believe I owe no one explanations about my life and the way I live it neither do you owe me too, so it's very important that I keep both my successes and failures to myself and to those who I intend to inform about what's going on in my life.
In the virtual world, some people are known to be living a reckless wealthy lifestyle who keeps displaying what they don't have. They are so lost in the world that fake lifestyles have been the order of their days but when you see them in the real world they are nothing to write home about.
For me, my virtual identity is the same as my real world identity, which is low key. Hardly will you know that I'm online on any of my social media platforms unless you message me because I hardly upload my pictures or update my statuses except on special occasions.
I'm always amazed when I see people update the whole world about what they are doing and they aren't content creators, what annoys me the most is how some people update others on what they are eating or when they are traveling. To me, it's not necessary, please most people know your whereabouts?
Privacy is what I've chosen, I don't joke with it and I pay so much attention to it. I don't allow others to pry into my privacy neither do I intrude into others privacy too. I wouldn't like people to know much about me that's why I hardly confide in people except my immediate family members whom I know my secrets are safe with because they are also a lover of privacy.
That being said, the mere fact that people know little about you doesn't mean that they won't envy your lifestyle and use that as an opportunity to say bad things about you from time to time among themselves. People must talk and I always ignore them when i hear such hateful talks because my private life is very important to me.
But basically, I didn't even set up a wall or fence around my house just because I don't want people to have full access to me. All I do is watch what I say and who I mingle with outside my home that's all.
Chosen to be a private person is an intentional act and it's the best decision any man can make. It's better to be known in a little way than to be the talk of the town and doesn't own anything important. Therefore till tomorrow, I will still be a private person so as to enjoy my life in my own little way.
