I'm back. It's been a while. I've never wrote on here while possessing all my faculties. I'm not really sure what to say. Feeling a bit cautious. Funny how that happens when you're in your "right mind".
Social media is going crazy. Facebook, instagram, Kik. Now it's Path. You get hooked on them. They're kind of cool I guess. You meet interesting people. That's for sure. You can present yourself however you want too. Guess that's good and bad. You only show people what you want them to see. The good stuff. The things that make YOU interesting. Or you can make people like you by feeling sorry for you. Make your life sound worse than it really is.
But what if it goes further? What if these people you've befriended want to know you in real life? Oh, crap! Now you gotta start back peddling. Or move to Russia. Except on social media, you've got friends there too!
So, what to do when your two worlds collide? How do you respond when your fantasy life and real life become entwined and get in each others way?
I guess just avoid that scenario all together. Don't take that chance. Be real. Be you. Be authentic from the start. Be who you are from day one. People are gonna like you for you or they aren't. An online social media friend said today: it is what it is. Just be you.
Peace.
