Title Explanation
I've been asked to explain why the decision was made to name the blog "You can never go back (now that you know)."
Have you ever wished you could un-see something? Ever wish you could go back to the past and change something? Have you ever thought it would be nice to not know something you found out about someone or something? I bet you answered "yes" to at least one of these, if not all three.
I can't tell you how many times I've scrolled through Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and came across something I DID NOT want to see. When scrolling through it's like: baby picture, funny kitty cat video, friend's new job announcement, song recommendation from another friend, another funny kitty cat video, them BOOM--- a giant 7-foot-tall spider!!! GEEZ!
Of course... I click the link to see what this freak of nature is all about. Sure enough, the spider is real. But it must exist on some remote island a billion miles away. Nope. It exists in a rundown warehouse in Texas. Texas!! That's just.... right down there! I heard everything is bigger in Texas, but that's the kind of thing nightmares are made of! First, why did one of my "friends" post such a terrible thing? Second, why did I click the link? I could have made up a story in my head about it being a hoax or just a Photoshop job. I can never go back, now that I know....
In life, we are continuously learning. We learn new things every day. And with the Internet, we learn about things that we did not have access to in the past. Whether you embrace the new knowledge or deny it, it's still there. You can never go back....
