Cringe 😬or 🙌 Embrace…..
when you see Facebook memories? Did you know you can review the entire timeline of your posts. 🤯
Why is this on my mind? 🤔 Prior to this venture, my average time on social media was 33 mins a day. Used for video chat, dog reels, & memes of 9-5pm, middle-aged life. They're funny, but in reality, quite sad. Then there are the posts portraying a life you wished you had. I was on IG less and less.
Now, my average 🕛 is roughly 3 hr a day. ❌ including other platforms. It consumes every free min of my day and mind. I am in what's called the "compare and despair," stage. Do my posts resonate with people? Is there value in my products or are they crap? The weight of comparisons, pressure to curate constant content, (😪 hours) and be further ahead.
The foundation of is acknowledging, validating, normalizing just that, EVERDAY feels. Not only the happy & positive parts 🌈 This is hard to do with oneself, let alone with others.
I spent a lot of 🕙 going through FB posts from day 1. Like many, I posted anything and everything! Strong opinions, to constant check locations. More apparent, was sharing my emotional status several times a day. And if it was a hard time, someone ALWAYS commented to ✔️ in. Especially, with the classic "vague book." I felt more connected to people. Cringe posts? 😆 💯 Did we have more 🕙?💯
I embrace FB posts because they were not only highlight reels. I was also more open & self-assured. That Cerenity would be thriving in this current venture!
I hope my Facebook-self will peek through the worry & all the self-doubt right now. I can't pull all-nighters like I used to trying to beat the IG algorithm. 😳😫😪
Your likes, polls, saves, and shares, thus far mean, there must be some value somewhere. 🥰
Also, did anyone else say there were "chillaxing" all the time?
Let's 🗣👂 it! No need to explain!
Are you Team Cringe 😬or Embrace…🙌
