May 18 Social Media Crushes

“Social Media is an energetically neutral tool. It’s the energy that you bring into it that defines your experience.” - Wokeandwired

Sometimes I wonder what my grandparents did with all the hours that us teens now use on our phones. They had the same 24 hours we did, but an additional what? two, three, four hours not spent on instagram or snapchat.

“It is a hard being a teenager these days” I often hear people say. “I can’t even imagine what high school would have felt like if I could know how much fun everyone else was having at any given moment.”

This is all so very true. FOMO is a very real thing. But as I’ve gone through high school and just life I have learned to navigate the whole social media a little bit better. I try to follow people who interest, inspire, or help me. Whether it be someone who knows how to meal prep super beautifully or simply someone who gives advice for the best ways to live meaningful, fulfilling and healthy lives.

For my own social media pages I try to post and share things that I believe are uplifting and fun for my followers to see and captured moments that really make me happy. I love pictures of beautiful places, authentic smiles, yummy food, and funny captions. I seek authenticity, and appreciate the accounts that are able to show depth on the surfaced platforms.
