Taking social media with a pinch of salt

Hi everyone! I hope you’re well ❤️ Here is a bit of a serious question, how does social media make you feel: happy? confused? annoyed? or even sad? For me it’s been the latter of the lot for a long time but I’m working hard on changing that!

I don’t really know how to express myself on social media so I mostly just use it to advertise blog posts and for a long time I’ve been thinking that’s not good enough but it works for me and that’s all that matters and is what I am trying to accept.

I always put so much thought into what I think I should be doing and I don’t even realize that something is better than nothing at all when its somewhere I’m not wanting to give up on being completely. Some days I don’t want to be using social media and that is okay. I’m glad I distance myself in those moments.

I often feel like on social media I pay a lot more attention to stats than I do on my blog in turn not making the environment as fun as it could be. My blog is my positive space and the feeling won’t seem to transcend onto anything else. All I can say is I’m happy I don’t have a love/hate relationship with my blog like I do with social media. I just need to find my place on it and learn from there.

I’ve decided to take social media with a pinch of salt by trying my best not to stress so much over how it could be and just enjoy how it is.

If you want to follow me on my social media journey feel free to, it would make my day!

  2. I think we all have a love/hate relationship with social media. I never worry about stats or who is or isn’t following me. I post what ever I’m feeling at the moment and could care less if anyone else likes it. I feel like I didn’t find my place I made myself a place and it’s mine and everything is just the way I like it. lol

  3. I honestly just use this site and Snapchat now. That way I’m only interested in what my friends are doing right now -and I’m not caught up with things in the past.

    Although on this site, looking at past posts allows me to grow more as a writer.

    Thank you for taking the time to write this post. 🙂
