Social media to me is a love hate situation. I hate it with a passion because it takes away from the things that really matter in life. Who cares if someone likes a picture of you or gives it a thumbs up?! Who cares if someone likes your stupid status about a dog who dances in a circle. We've become so absorbed in our own little world that we fail to see what's really going on around us. We fail to see our friends and family. We fail to see the planet we live on. The only time something like that comes up is if someone posts a video about it. It makes us realize for a slip second what were missing, but then we dive straight back into the social media bull crap. I wont lie, i do have multiple social media things that i keep up with, which is where i contradict myself. I like getting likes on my images on instagram, or sharing silly videos with friends. I like knowing that people care about me, even if its just a split second of someone liking an instagram photo. But is it ever going to be enough? My generation and the ones coming into the world now are all dependent on people liking them, thinking positive things about them...all online though. I wish i could just throw my phone and laptop out the window sometimes and get back to my roots. Go running, go to the beach, play sports with friends....all without having to post about it or tell people what im doing. Unfortunately that is easier said than done.
