The social media

Also this time, the prompt of today was quite interesting, I have to give it to WordPress, they really made an easy way to find stuff to blog about. Not that I lack things to post, but in all ways this is helpful. I am still in the middle of re-telling my days so far in Italia, but these prompts are important to complete when I can.

Allora, I have had an on-off relationship with social media, the off part has just been recently. When I got hacked and was without social media for two weeks almost, at the beginning it was quite annoying, but as the days went on, I became used to it.

To make it short, my whole education line is focused on social media. Being educated as both a graphic designer, photographer and digital storyteller. To be honest, I haven’t used my fields in a professional way at all, this blog is probably the only way. And also my Instagram, but not for work, it is just on my own terms, I guess I like it like that.

The two weeks off, I started to realise how much time I spent on social media. And what other things I probably could be doing, instead of scrolling around at the speed of sound. I started reading, started playing piano again, and sometimes also just laid down on the couch to just relax, no beeps or plings signaling for my attention. It was peaceful.

However, later my accounts got back, and I see now that I use it less than before. Not that I am not active, because believe me, I am. Just less than before. Currently I am not sure what to do, I made my account private, which removes the whole possibility of marketing and promoting my pictures out there. So earlier I made a new account, which I MAY use later for public pictures, but currently I am not sure what it will be. As I am already out on my trip, I should have decided this a time before, but whatever. It is what it is.

Maybe I still am in between when it comes to social media, who knows?
