Hide it till you tie it (the knot)
At first, I thought it was a thing for overly spiritual people, then afterward, I imagined it could be a personality thing, but then I realized that the paranoia of going public about happy moments, especially relationships before marriage is real. And it got me really wondering, who started this and why? We know that Adam and Eve should be blamed for most pains that come to us in life; cramps, job hurdles, name it. But who should be blamed for the normalization of hiding beautiful things? Why can't I casually post a happy picture of myself with le boyfriend without necessarily raising eyebrows? Recently, Juju la Belle tweeted: "Here is a theory that I don't understand about keeping your partner off social media until you're engaged/ready for marriage. 'What if they break up with you after that?' …Live every happiness as it was the last. What if you die today? Make yourself happy. Only You." It's not like we are planning on dying, really....
