Honest Moment - I have struggled with "Social Media". It's very overwhelming for me and overstimulating. I don't think Social Media is bad and I do know there is usefulness in it. But there is so much information coming at you, 24/7. Truly the "Information Highway". In addition to that, you have a lot of "coaches" out there. Not that "coaching" is bad, but there are so many telling you you need to do this or "no, you need to do that". There is profit in all of it but I just think we each have to find the right fit for us. While social media has it's benefits, there are also some downfalls to it. It has contributed to increased depression in some people. For some of our young people, they think social media is "real life" and "real relationships". As a result they can tend to ignore the people and the things around them. Adults do it to. Social Media can be addictive if your not careful. It's a fact that "Social Media" is so big, right now, that it can't be ignored. It can't be ignored by anyone. Not by businesses, not by parents, not by children, not by any industry. Social media cannot be ignored.
But if you struggle with depression, or if you use it excessively than maybe it's time you define, for yourself what purpose you want social media to serve in your life. It is so in our face that we have to make decisions about it. For those of us with families. We have to make decisions about it, not only for ourselves, but for our families as well.
It wasn't my intention to write about this today, I had something else in mind. But maybe somebody needed to hear this. Too much of anything, in your life, becomes toxic.
