Oh my god I cannot express how much of my self-perception comes from social media. My Instagram is so heavily curated it’s ridiculous. I’ve recently been trying to let that go a little more but sometimes I find myself in a 2am scrolling hole looking through my stories to see what I act like, what I look like, how I experienced events.
I realised that social media doesn’t just reflect how you see yourself currently
it also has affected how I’ve remembered chunks of my life.
Does it affect me more now than normally? No, not really, I feel like now I just use it as
my main source of social validation whereas I used to seek that from seeing
people in real life.
Home for me was one place for a very long time and then sort of rapidly changed quite a bit very quickly as it does for most young people who have to move out of their childhood home. I’ve always thought home is where you have a bed to be honest with you, you can make anywhere a home if you have somewhere to sleep.
My perspectives change all the time and I think it’s so important they do. If your perspectives and opinions aren’t changing it means you’ve stopped learning and become stagnant which just isn’t a vibe for me y’know?
Constantly. I think change is great, I think getting away from situations and coming back into them gives you perspective which in turn can improve the way you’re handling said situation.
