Ever since I started seriously using social media around the time I entered college, I have sat and thought about what I am posting for way too long. I think about if it's dumb, or if people will like it, or if it is ridiculous. I know I am not the only person that does this. When I recently started being more present on social media, I made the conscious decision to try and stop those thoughts. I wanted to just be who I am and say what I want to say. That is always my goal.
I catch myself seeing someone I used to be close with stop following me or something silly and all of those thoughts rush back to me and I hate it so much.
When social media first started it was so different. It was so fun. It was all about connecting with people and posting funny things with your friends. Social media is still fun, but in such a different way. My friends and I would take the most ridiculous photos and post them because they were hilarious to us. Those are the moments I love.
People debate all the time if social media is a good thing or if it ruins people. I feel like what really matters is how you use it and how you look at it. I am choosing to look at it as a way to spread positivity and connect with more people. Why not just be your fun, silly self on every platform. Who cares what other people think about what you're doing? Just be you. That is my message to everyone and myself this evening.
Here are some of my favorite old instagram posts. So many fun times and fun posts with the awesome people who have come into my life. Love you all. Love these memories.
Always find the good!!!
(Also yes, I know how cringy these are and I am sorry they are resurfacing the internet 😂)
