Social Media

If we're not careful the online world can suck us in, change us, turn us into something that is false, and twist notions of what is really real.

We begin to second guess ourself and feel as though we're not good enough, young enough, pretty enough, wealthy enough, popular enough and the list goes on.

We watch others become crazy successful, witness people going on exotic romantic trips, we see them party hard.... Our head starts to spin and we finally stop and wonder...what the HELL am I doing? Is it just me going through problems?

Social media puts pressure on people to enjoy life... to enjoy and capture each moment so that they can boast about the parties that they really did not have fun at, partners that they don’t really get along with, the friends who do not care about them, the kids that they hardly have the time for...

I do not feel ashamed to admit that I felt jealous - negative at times to see all that fun, amazing relationships that people were having... even though I know that there is a high chance that it is much exaggerated, filtered, manicured. Nobody is going to share negative things obviously.

I am subscribed to very few people, who publish posts with quality content that I like. I no longer feel overwhelmed with information overload. I really don’t care to find out who is drinking what.
