Let me start by talking about social media… I have mixed feelings about it. Part of me wants to delete everything and disappear. But another part of me sees the beauty in how people share their lives and experiences through it. It’s been hard for me to choose, and it’s something I’ve been struggling with for a while now.
On the one hand, I think social media is a great source of information. I like being able to see and hear from people who inspire me. Sometimes people share interesting books or podcasts. I also like seeing what my friends and loved ones are up to on the other side of the world.
On the other hand, I think social media has stolen our connection. Our connection to Earth and to each other. It seems we feel a bit lost and sad, or maybe it’s just me. A mind-boggling amount of information floods our minds, and it’s hard to keep up with it all. Sometimes I regret having shared so much about myself, but I figure there’s already so much information out there anyway, and we can’t change that, can we?
I still find myself wanting to share photos and stories on social media. There’s definitely a part of me that enjoys it, because it makes me feel connected to others or like I’m being noticed. I like expressing my opinion. But I’m not lying when I say that sometimes I don’t want to be seen at all.
At this stage, I decided to share my life stories through this blog. I’m going to be honest and open. I won’t hide in the shadows anymore.
With love,
The Human Goddess
