Jaden Smith

Over the past few months, I’ve become a fan of Jaden Smith. I followed his Twitter page and enjoyed his stream of consciousness entries. So I was sad to see that he deleted the entire account. Jaden also deleted his Facebook page and put a padlock on his Instagram account. All of this comes from a 16-year-old boy who’s simply trying to be a kid. I’m surprised that he’s shut himself off, seeing as his age group (and most others) are hooked on social media.

Jaden’s been looking much happier than usual this year, often breaking into spontaneous dance at Coachella and movie premieres. He’s also had a grand time swerving too hard in skirts. Some people believed Jaden was looking for attention, but apparently, he’s tired of the attention.

In memoriam, here are some of my favorite gems from Jaden. Some are a few years old:

* “Haters Are Just Pre Creators Who Need The Seed Of Greatness.”

* “‘Hey Are You Jaden Can I Have A Picture With You’ No Cause I’m Super Sad But We Can Sit And Talk.”

* “How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real”

* “The Great Gatsby is One of the Greatest Movies Of All Time, Coachella.”

* “Anything You See In Any Magazine Ever Is Fake.

* “Every 7 Years Your Body Is Completely Replaced With Entirely New Cells So Just Because You Look The Same Doesn’t Mean You Are.”

* I Don’t Want You Guys To Think Because I Was Born In America That I Speak And Abide By English Grammar. I Speak Jaden, Indefinitely.”

* “Omg I’m Bout To Tweet The Most Jaden Smith Thing Ever Ready?”

See, he’s completely harmless and very funny. I do hope everything is okay with Jaden. Social media (and Twitter in particular) can be a haven for abuse. Death threats towards celebrities are not unheard of. Jaden seemed to enjoy Twitter a lot. He once promised to “imprint myself on everything in this world” which will be harder to accomplish offline. Perhaps Jaden’s simply taking a break, and he’ll return when he has something to promote.
