First of all with the Blogger app no longer working at all with my phone. So much so I am probably going to move over to word press. Blogging has become so much of a battle recently and I am just dealing with what feels like 3 million draft posts because finishing them either in the app or on the page is just so drawn out some days.
Secondly and most importantly I have a big struggle with social media. I have seen so much negativity caused on or via social media lately that I really do wonder what people think they are doing? What do they get out of ripping peoples lives apart? Do they even think about the effects on others before or after the event or posts they put up?
I have a mind that is never quiet, it is so random at times, it keeps me awake. Even to the point sometimes I am awake at 4 am wondering if that silly joke I cracked could have been taken the wrong way from 3 days before. So with what I have been witnessing recently I am truly hurt and shocked by many posts in recent times.
Since when did social media become such a tool for destruction? Sure, most of us use it to keep up with family and friends. Great. We share lost children/pets notices. Events for charities and the great night out ideas. Craft ideas and jokes. All lovely. When did it get to the point of you read it online it must be true? so you share it and you tag people and it starts gathering speed. Right or wrong information people seem to delight in spreading bad news.
Dating sites where some of the users are cruelly misleading people and then giving them ratings on how bad they are. The reason people would do this is beyond me too.
I may be a bit naive but surely all that energy spent on all this negativity would surely be better spent on something positive that helped themselves and others rather than treating people so badly? So much confusion, hurt, pain and mistreating of others is making my brain explode lately.
I am aware this is a very disjointed blog post, I just need somewhere to get this down and out of my head. It probably doesn't make a lot of sense and fair enough. Feel free to just ignore it if you like.
Bonus points though if you go out there and brighten someones day with a positive act. Make someone's days better.
thanks for reading
