Screaming into the void…

The internet is a strange place. Social media platforms with personas attached to them have given up on protecting the people of our community. They are no longer a safe space (as if they ever were). Which brings me here. It’s a place on the internet that holds only my thoughts; like me in my head.

It makes me wonder… Where do we go from here? Is the answer to stop being on social media all together? Or jump ship to the next platform that could be a digital sanctuary for the time being? I’m starting to lean towards the former; but how will I share pictures of my food?! How can I make sure that I’m keeping up with the trends? How can I be an influencer?! Jokes aside I feel like these questions are dilemmas for some people today.

There is a lot more concerning uncertainty out there for different people and my trivial feeling about the state of social media is minuscule in comparison. But if you feel the way I feel imagine what others feel like and how their cries are quite literally screaming into the void.

Because 2020.

Congratulations we survived 2020!!! Time to count our blessings cause there are a lot of people that didn’t make it this far. Life is not defined in years but in moments and every moment counts. I take all the moments good and bad, add them to this experience called life and ask myself… What did I learn? What changed about me? Who am I even? I’m on a constant quest of finding my true self because who I am is constantly changing. This year in particular came with a lot of change. Change in routines, change on outlooks, change in relationships, change in interests, change in perspective, and changes to try and make a change. Change! Change! Change! Change! Change! I don’t think I said it enough times. But what’s more important is to embrace the change, heal, and grow. I’m like an old plant with new growth cause this year felt like a new beginning. 2020 hit the reset button and gave me 2020 vision. In the future I will look back wonder how I got here and the answer will be “Because 2020.”
