Could You Would You
ok.
Please pardon this dated, typo cringing, relic from 2018. I was in the early years of sharing words and, errrr …
I know.
youch.
but I need these rambles to help make a point.
& has anyone ever notice how easy it is for human beings to fall in line and just follow ??
follow good,
follow not so good,
follow,
follow,
follow.
It’s something I think about quite often.
And given my angle of 4 years off the busy, busy beast known as social media ??
eek
It’s truly mind blowing.
& then I wonder, if offered a dare of, hmmmm, let’s say, a day, one entire 24, to step away from the vortex of FaceBook, Twitter (oops, X), Instagram, TikTok and alllllll the other this/that’s out there …
how many people would exit ?? how many could quit ?
Spoken as someone who has, who did and who actually really, truly survived, I proudly and LOUDLY exclaim
DOOOOOOOOOOOOO
yep, go ahead, see how wonderfully released you will feel.
WHY ??
Because the seconds + minutes + hours + days + weeks + months + years I spent glancing and liking and wondering and checking and hoping and commenting and … and allowing the energy of the crowd to consume my brain cells is, quite frankly, embarrassing to admit. Social media owned me in an odd sort of way. The day I realized this incredibly simple fact is the day I reclaimed my inner peace.
says me,
on every anniversary of the day I left.
Because you just don’t realize what a burden you carry, until you set it down, step away
and ahhhhhh
I’m telling you, it’s eyeball opening, it’s refreshing, it is truly awesome.
Give it a try.
See if you can.
Dare I say, I DARE ??
