Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Not For Sale


Do you have friends who seem like they are selling you off to someone else?

It may sound strange but as I was talking to my friend I feel she is advertising me because every time she meets someone new she would tell them who I am.

I feel she is selling me off somewhere to be sold.

Do you ever feel like you’re an item to be sold off to someone?

My friend tells her friend guess how old she is and they start figuring out your age as you become the audience of all her friends.

Of, course they never guess what your real age and you end up explaining why you look this young over and over again.

Do you have friends who talks to your friend feeling you are being sold off to a man you don’t know?

You tell them you’re not for sale or in your worlds you are not interested.

As the man starts looking for list of friends on his phone showing you the pictures you look at them saying they all look scary and not even close to your type.

Remember if this ever happens to you stick up to yourself when you feel your friends are shipping you away to someone you don’t know of always put a stop sign because it doesn’t seem like something you need to do this way.

It seems cheap to sell off a friend who is really not for sale in the first place.

To your friend who may do this often may thing they are selling themselves to someone but when you hear it from them you take it the wrong way.

Some people interpret their words just like what my friend was doing to me.

Human being is not an item to be sold off to someone who don’t know of and something that needs to be pulled away from someone we don’t know.

Human being is not an item you purchase in a store and thing you want to buy it before someone grabs it.

Human being doesn’t expire like food with an expiration date until it gets old and rout somewhere.

Human being is not toys we have feelings when you treat your friend this way.

When this happens to you start to remove them as the circle of your friends because in the first place you’re not for sale.
