RE: Social media, can you make me better? Or do you steal my time?
I've noticed that there are two different times I'll post on social media. I'll use Instagram for this example. I hardly use it, I just hit my 50th post this week after using it for several years. It's a decent way to look at all of the people I've met throughout my life, see what they're up too, see what they're celebrating, and my favorite; seeing where they are in the world. To a lot of my friends it comes natural to post a beautiful picture on the 'gram, but it's a lot harder for me and others. For instance, I went out drinking with my sister and some of her friends and they were all taking beautiful pictures and posting them all over social media. I was the odd man out, had someone take my phone and snap a terrible looking picture of me swigging straight from the vodka bottle. ~~30 likes. Last week Monday I went out paddle boarding with a friend and took a little risk and brought my phone on the lake. The main intent was to take pictures of her for Instagram. When we were taking a break I took a few selfies of me laying down, cutting half of my face and showing the skyline behind me. I didn't try to take a very nice picture, and I usually don't. But I got lucky and had my highest liked solo picture (one with just me, not a friend or family member) of all time. I wasn't trying to force it and I already was having a good time on the lake with my friend.
Sorry that was kind of a tangent but my point is, you may be behind social media for a long time, but think about the things you're doing to be the reason you make a post on SM. So I may be on social media a lot, but I'm using it for new ideas that I can do both in real life, AND to post on social media. I think if we intertwine these things we might be spending our time a little bit more.
Hey, Thanks for the opinion. I mean, if u can get or give something valuable of course it's not a waste of time. Only in this way I'm on the Social media side. All the time, need to know what you want , what you need and what you can give for others. I'm glad, that I'm on Steemit. It makes me a better person
