How Social are You on

Social Media ?
By Fahtiem
We are all living life differently this year , 2020 . How and where we spend our time has changed . The way we connect to others has changed . The reason we are disconnected more than usual , is a worldwide phenomenon . For the first time , we actually relate to and understand people all over the world because of a common denominator . That common denominator is fear . And we are all waiting for normalcy to return .
As time passes on , we have all changed the way we look at things . We are prioritizing things differently .
In the beginning , we were so appreciative of social media and how it kept us connected in a disconnected world . We blessed every day that we had the Internet . We pray every day to the god ZOOM .
Everything is online . The time we spend looking at a screen is ridiculous , yet we can ’ t resist . For some of us , it is the only communication we have , especially if we are living alone .
It has been calculated that if you spend two hours a day online every day , that equals a WHOLE MONTH out of every year ! This is our LIFE !
We all know there are pros and cons to everything . Using social media to promote your business is great ! The only cost is time to post our flyer or picture about our event . BUT do we stop there ? It is so easy to get pulled into everyone ’ s drama ! I ’ m sure I ’ m not the only one that notices there are so many more postings when there is a tragic life experience versus a joyful one . I ’ m not sure if that means more people relate to drama versus joy or not . Yes , we share happiness
