Hey! Hey! I hope you are all well. Been a minute as usual 💀🤣. Sorry please 😂. I am ashamed but my job isn't allowing me be the girl y'all need.

So, today I thought of talking about social media, actually it's been on my mind for a few days now.

Personally, I Love Social media, ok! It is a place I go to destress after a long day. Laugh at memes and repost, kind of stuff. That has always been my main use for social media. I also love the fashion and the beauty aspect of social media. Post a cute picture every now and then😍.

I have also made and fostered really awesome friendships and connections from social media, like the initial intended use. A few of you can attest to that 😂😍😍❤️. Some friends I have known for years and never met them but we share a great bond and I absolutely love it.

Another thing I have used social media for is dating and all that stuff💀😂. Hey! I am a gorgeous girl and ofcourse I will get love interests. I genuinely tried them but didn't work out in the end and I don't think social media is at fault for that, just incompatibility.

So now when we look at how social media has evolved, it's been good and bad. Some good, online businesses, brand influencing which can be a career, hobby or both for the honest ones, connecting with loved ones, finding love or finding a job. Some bad, online bullying, false life expectations, body image dismorphia e.t.c.,

Just like everything else in the world these days, there are good and bad but we need to ensure we do not get carried away by the negative effects. A good example is saying "oh she has not posted anything in a while, or he hasn't posted his girlfriend in while" and automatically equate that to a depression or sad life, how ?! 😂 social media is not a picture of everyone's reality.

I regard social media as a tool. It could be for good or bad but never a template for what ones life looks like or should be like. People find themselves in such sad moods trying to compare themselves to others. Seldomly will people post their bad days and me posting funny memes daily doesn't mean I am happy either.

Basically, what you see isn't always what you get and that goes for instagram boutique stores too 🤣🤣💀. You will be shook at the rubbish you receive for these vendors atimes.


In essence, life is really not exactly how is plays out on social media. Have fun, post a photo, post a reel, post a dance video, post memes, start your influencing, start your business page, or just scroll to pass time. Enjoy the good it has to offer.


Reach out when you miss a friend but out of love not out of the fact you think they are misreable because of a few days of social media absence. Life doesn't end because of social media absence.


I hope you enjoyed this post. Do share your thoughts in the comments💕😊.
