These days, I have a pretty pessimistic view towards social media.
The unrealistic lifestyles people portray. The constant comparison.
But lately, I have started using it differently.
I started posting on instagram about my normal day-to-day routine. About the things that matter most to me.
Yesterday, out of the blue, my friend calls me and we have a great phone call. He lives in LA, so I haven’t spoken to him in a while.
What I realized was that he called me very likely because he saw that I posted my life on Instagram. He must have seen my story on my homework and thought to call me.
Social media is a tool. We can use it to constantly compare ourselves to others, or we can use it to keep in touch with the people that matter most to us.
