"What's on your mind?"
A simple question that can often mean someone is trying to pick one's brain in an attempt to better understand that individual's current mood or actions. That's how I would describe the phrase and its usage, but that seems pretty technical. I might also consider the question as a modern day friendship test.
Today's society is, without a doubt, very connected. Social networking has become a staple in many people's lives with many people turning to Facebook to stay connected to friends. However, when forced to spend a lot of time with other people it becomes increasingly easier to find those peoples faults and find them irritated. In today's society, Facebook plays a large part into this. For instance I often talk to my friends who will mention something that popped up on their news feed that bothered them or thought was annoying, dumb, or frustrating.
I tend to sympathize with these people. I often will come across a Facebook status or picture that I just shake my head and think to myself, "Why?" I have no one to blame but myself though. Facebook allows people to post things through a simple medium and question. Facebook asks, "What's on your mind?" and all a person has to do is type whatever they want. Its a question that can be incredibly dangerous. I can't necessarily be mad at someone for posting what is on their mind because I too indulge in the luxury of posting my thoughts on Facebook. People very well may think that the things that I post are a waste of time for them to read or that they can't believe that I would write something like that.
I sit hear listening to some Matt & Kim, while I try and think of a way to wrap up this nugget of information I compiled together, and I don't know necessarily how I want to do it. Sometimes it is best to be frank, which leads me to say; to each their own.
