Oh lord this is a topic that I could talk Bout all day everyday!
I visited one of my younger kids I babysat before and the first thing she said was, "do you have Instagram?"
I pause and gave her a confused look. She refreshes her picture and screams out, "omg 12 likes!!"
Wat the hell is going on in this world is the real question?! 8 & 9 year olds living off of social media acceptance. This has to be a night mare.... But it's not.
Mostly everyone I speak too even in my age bracket or older cater to how many likes or people see what they post. Not trying to knock your hustle; ok, you posted something but I think we are forgetting the most important part of it all: The true value.
Are you posting things to become social media famous or are you posting things that you believe in, feel good about, and want people to learn or search/share to better themselves? Are you sharing your journey in a new project and promoting your passion so others can feel inspired to figure out their passion?
I think we all have to remember that we are humans.
"Stop worrying about how many people follow you online and start worrying about the quality of people who follow you. Don't waste your time reading articles about how to get more followers. Don't waste time following people online just because you think it'll get you somewhere. Don't talk to people you don't want to talk to, and don't talk about stuff you don't want to talk about.
If you want followers, be worth following."

This whole quote left me speechless and in awe. Because I am definitely guilty of searching how to get more audience for my posts to share my piece of thought.
Hey I'm not perfect!
But it's all true. I went back into my twitter and Instagram and unfollowed people I wouldn't even click on. I unfollowed people that didn't make me feel happy, and defintely didn't motivate me to be a better me.
That's my preference. I challenge you all, to remember we are all here on a journey to become the best we can possibly be. Start with what & who you surround yourself with, what you read everyday, what thoughts you tell & share with yourself. All these hings really matter on how your energy and attitude will be for each day you have.
Remember yesterday was the last youngest day you will ever have. Make the best of it and bring light that will make you feel amazing inside & out.
Cheers to the never ending journey of happiness.
Peace&love,
