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!
Thank you for reading my little rant 😉 How do you feel about social media? Can you relate to any of this at all? Let me know your thoughts! 😂 Have a lovely day! ❤️

For me, social media is a source of frustration, only because I’m just so very bad at keeping up with all of my accounts. I often think that I have to update as frequently as possible but I can never motivate myself enough to do it. Also, it’s hard for me to choose what to share, so I just end up sharing very little. I mostly just pay attention to my blog, which I’m okay with. I used to think that I had to maintain my other accounts in order to feel present, but recently that worry has gone away! I find that I’m actually pretty happy just using WordPress and occasionally Twitter or SnapChat 🙂

I’m bad at keeping up with them too so in the end hardly anything goes up 😂 That’s good that you’re choosing to focus on your blog. Thank you so much for reading lovely! 😄💞

I feel sad whenever I come across heated arguments and “scandals” on my different social platforms (esp Twitter) so when that happens, I’m just like, “Okay. I’ll go away for a while and hopefully when I come back, most of it has died down.” I like the phrase “taking social media with a pinch of salt” and I’m gonna start having that mindset when it comes to social media 🙂

Same! I’ll see something that upsets me and then distance myself until I feel ready to come back. I hope it helps! Thank you so much for reading lovely 😄💞

It something I’m currently debating with too. I just made an Instagram account where I’m just focusing on my blog as well as a more personal account for friends and family. I feel like I’d have more freedom and can be a bit more creative. I dont know if it’ll work out if not but I’m gonna give it a go for a bit. Try some stuff out.

instagram bums me out, tbh, it really is quite crushing a lot of the time. it makes me feel insecure and angsty because I’m always watching my likes count and thinking ‘is it the algorithm at fault or are my photos the problem? do people not like me??’ my mother keeps telling me I should stop, but it’s such an all-consuming part of my life, haha. my phone died last year and the week that I wasn’t on insta was actually kind of liberating, but as soon as I had access to it again, I was instantly hooked again. I can’t quit it! I just wish I could learn to care less

I get that so much! It really does consume you and it’s hard to stop using it with any other outlook. I hope you’re mindset towards it changes to a positive one soon! I wish I could learn to use it for inspiration more. Thank you so much for reading ❤️
