"Hate my life." #forever alone "She tried it. She really tried it." "I'm the baddest bitch...." You are probably reading these phrases right now and wondering what the hell am I saying, but these right here, are examples of posts that some of us might have been guilty of posting on social media outlets out of sheer naivety, anger, sadness, or boredom perhaps. Nonetheless, I am now realizing that what we post on sites such as Facebook really does impact how we are perceived by others. Sometimes it seems like we are just venting for ourselves perhaps, but we have to keep in mind that social media is "social" and other people are there to watch us from the sidelines.
I'm not perfect and as I write this blog post, I am thinking about how I can be mindful of this in the future. I've been called out before on my posts, and it was definitely a lesson for me to either practice what I preach or simply be cautious of how I am being perceived by others. Social media sites are tricky because we are all aiming to craft out certain images for ourselves and usually how we think we are branding ourselves can be different from what others have witnessed. Now, don't get me wrong, this is helpful advice, but regardless of if we are doing good or bad in life, we will forever be judged and criticized until the day we die. That is just how life works and comes along with human nature. However, being mindful of what we say and do in this life can truly save our asses.
